A leisurely start this morning as we have not far to travel today. Took advantage of the sunshine to prep some small rust spots that are the result of little dings getting on and off the well deck over the last four years. Yes, Fruit of The Vine is four years old now having passed her first MOT with flying colours. The inspector did notice one thing though There was no plate next to the fuel filler to say DIESEL. A quick trip to Lime Kiln chandlery soon put that right though.
There is a marked absence of traffic on the cut this year. We got to Bratch at 11:30 and the landings were empty. The lock keeper informed us that they had one boat up and one down and we were the third. Times must be hard me thinks.
We are moored at Wombourne as there is a Sainsburys one side of the canal and a pub on the other.
Post lunch Dianne settled in with some reading whilst Keith went off on his Brompton to explore the local area.
Supper in the Wagon & Horses tonight.
