And I forgot it… On 6th Jan we’ve been here at Mercia Marina for precisely one month. However, in hindsight we went out for a meal that day - without even realising. Yep, that’s when we went to see to The Dragon in Willington, the meal was lovely, bit of a limited menu but never mind, the place has got character & the kind of atmosphere we like… No blog post yesterday – hangover from hell, but, with matches propping the eyes open I noticed this…
A beautiful winter sunset, taken from the back of the boat…
Other news: We seem to have acquired a little friend at the back end of the boat, I haven’t been able to take a photo of him yet because he only comes out at night. We hear him behind us when we’re sat outside in the lux con, bang on 11pm he starts doing the threep thing. He’s a coot & I’ve named him Wally, say “shut up” (no need to shout) & he does…
So here’s an example coot, taken in 2010, he / she holds the record for the fattest coot / water hen (whichever) in the world…
There must be something about TT’s back end that attracts these little critters, remember these from last year? I should’ve been a narrator…
