Easter Monday. Hope you all had plenty of eggs. the chocolate variety.
We are just below the Buckby Flight, and will move up there later for water, de-rubbish etc, and then wait to start up the locks in the morning.
Its been great just hanging around doing a few jobs. Lettuce is set in the growbag, but I awoke with a start, when I heard a pheasant sounding off. Oh no, he isn't eating them, is he? No, thankfully. we are moored opposite a small holding, where the bloke sells led lights for boats, called Bedazzled. They also sell fresh produce in season and a selection of Free Range eggs from Happy Hens. We can vouch that the hens are extremely happy. watching them has been a delight, they have feathery legs, so they look like they are wearing plus fours, and they kick out one leg ,and then the other looking for gubs. I can now do quite a good impression myself, actually. we have also watched the cheeky squirrels. and some goldfinches right by the side of Trundle. they had found some soft nest building material, and were collecting it for their nest. aaaah.
At this small holding, they also sell books and stuff like you would find in a charity shop. so, Mick had a find. ! A BAROMETER. so now, each and every morning, he checks the weather on the computer, on the tv and now he is Tapping his barometer, and its working. so if the computer and the tv and everyone else gets it wrong, Mick will get it right. whey hey.
