With a clear sky last night, and Syke’s being so sheltered, we awoke
to the grass and the ropes being all white with frost and a mist swirling on
the canal as the sun rose and burnt it off.
The bow details were given their final coat of red paint; it totally
transforms the front of the boat. Brenda went for a walk with Jackie and I sat
with Lol. It was another lovely warm day although the chill sent us back in
about 4pm.
We were sat in the front cratch when we heard Halsall approaching from
her run to Acton Bridge and now en-route to Ellesmere Port. Both looked knackered
again and Roberta’s face was black with coal dust. We passed them a couple of
cans of Guinness and a Coke, all we have left apart from boxes of wine, as they
passed, for which they were grateful.
