Pottering around Seend, and don't I love that!!

Pottering on the K&A

Not been doing much really, just trying to rest and beat off this virus, and at last I can report that I think it has gone.  I got a feeling I have had this since January when I came back from visiting ‘dan saff’!

So, time to catch up on computer stuff and all things sat down to do.. nice filing system I have now instead of my normal filing system which was ‘shove it under the dinette cushion and do it some other time’ system!

Look at these two…

Vic has been a right ‘ol softie with these two, he doesn’t even mind if they perch on the roof either.. every lunchtime they come and knock on the window “any leftovers?”… Lucy is funny, she doesn’t like them having leftovers.. SHE likes those and has not appreciated the taps on the glass.. and any opportunity she has had outside she has kept the ducks well away!

Not only ducks, but it was nice the other day to see a heron, happy to sit awhile with No Problem passing, quite unusual…

Oh and plenty of kingfishers on this stretch around Seend.. more than I have seen in a long while.

The mowers were out today along the towpath, and the light didn’t fade ‘till gone 7 tonight.  We were going to go out for a pint last night.. Over the road at the Barge Inn, Seend Cleeve..

But brrrrrrrr it was freezing cold when I stuck my head out around 9pm, so thought better of it and opened the bar on NP.  The weather has been most odd the last couple of days.. so windy that narrowboats have been swept into the bushes, then calm with no ripples on the water.. warm days.. cold days.. but the buds are on the willows.. the moorhens have eggs in their waterside nests.. spring is just around the corner.

We are enjoying some prime time at the moment watching the seasons change right in front of us.. the last couple of days just pottering.. moving just a tad.. well we have to run the engine to charge the batteries, so why not turn the prop and the windlass too for an hour or so..
