Goodbye Rugley

Yesterday we said goodbye to Rugley, leaving our mooring in brilliant sunshine.

The weather yet again was good for cruising and we hardly met a soul on our way to Fradley.

This is why we love our life aboard you cant beat scenery like this.

We had a bit of luck when we got to Wood End lock as there were contractors cutting down a tree so we now have a few logs on the roof, the start of our winter fuel lets hope we find a bit more.

There were volunteers on the two Fradley locks so we got through in comparative ease through the swing bridge and onto the water point. I did a reccy to see if there were any free moorings and there weren't but just as the tank filled up a big work boat that had been moored up came by so we were able to slip into the vacated spot.

We had arranged to meet up with John and Ang nb Ellen and they had just moored up below the lock so came up for a chat and we popped up to the pub for a lunch time drink. Then decided to return in the evening for a meal which was very nice, a pleasant evening had by all.

Things seem to have quietened down but as the the children are due back to school this week that is to be expected.
