Having Visitors at the Saltisford Arm

Saturday 27^th June

Jon, Kev, Davina and James

Me with Jon, Davina and James

When we got up this morning, the sun was shining and it was already really warm.  Jon, Davina and James arrived about 10.30am and we all had brunch together which we cooked.  It was really great to see them and to catch up.  Outside our boat there are picnic tables and seats so as it was such a glorious day we sat outside and chatted, then had a walk around the Canal centre.

We waved them off about 1.30pm.  It was great they were able to call by and see us as we had a lovely time with them as always.

We went for a walk in the afternoon up to the Cape of Good Hope pub, it is right by one of the cape locks, we sat in the garden and watched a few boats go through the lock, then headed back to our boat.

Thrush with beak full of worms

Our friendly Thrush

We looked out of the window in the early evening and on the grass right near the boat was a thrush digging away for worms.  He must be feeding babies as he kept getting a beak full of worms, flying off with them and then coming back for more.  He was very tame and when people walked by, he didn’t fly off.  It was so lovely to see a thrush at such close quarters.

We are staying here tomorrow as well, then chugging off on Monday.
