We have had an
excellent week as our grandaughter Nikita came to stay for the half
term holiday. Her mum, dad and brothers delivered her to Higher
Poynton on Sunday. All seven of us went for a short cruise, which
meant Nikita & Magnus got a chance to wear their life jackets.
We stayed at Higher Poynton until Wednesday as we were frozen in
again at the beginning of the week and our boiler was playing up (now
fingers crossed it's OK after being fixed a second time), our
porthole covers needed to be attached and our chimney pots had
arrived.
Our trip to
Bollington on Wednesday was a VERY wet one. We moored just opposite
Clarence Mill. As the forecast is heavy rain for the next couple of
days, we'll head off to Macclesfield at some point next week.
Nikita fell in love
with dominoes while she was with us, wanting to play morning, noon &
night. She also grasped playing the recorder and simple sewing. The
geese and ducks really appreciated her feeding them even if they had
to skid over the ice to get to the boat.
There appear to be
lots of owls in Bollington hooting and screeching. I was looking out
of the bow door late one night and saw a huge owl flying along the
canal-truly amazing.
