Lottie D is a 57' cruiser stern narrow boat named after our daughter Charlotte. With us both finally retired it's time to record our life on the canal network.

Play misty for me

It was a misty morning start today with this view through the hatch.

As we set off there was a distinctly "Scooby Doo" feel, crawling slowly, breaking icy remnants.
I saw my first Jay for ages but was never going to be quick enough to photograph it. Away to our right a ref blew for full time, reminding me of a Bradford v Wigan night game where the fog was so thick that Ian Millward said "Brian Carney could have gone for a burger and I wouldn't have known!"
Ethereal figures emerged from the murk as we made our way to Astley Green

where we shall remain for a couple of days giving the right hand side of the boat a much needed wash and brush up before hitting the services at Butts Bridge.
Finally, it's good to report that we are now getting 4G here. Carry on at this rate and our network coverage will soon be rivalling Albania's!
