A beautiful spot

Having spent twelve days at Burscough it's time to move on. With the Bridgewater closure confirmed for the 13th we will get beyond the bridge in question beforehand and spend the next three months God knows where.
Our friends Wayne and Emma called on us yesterday so we hit The Ship at Lathom for a spot of lunch. Actually, Elaine and I went there on Friday too.....
Pickled selfie in the rain!

We moved the boat down to this little spot

which I'm sure you'll agree is a beauty, just by bridge 35 between Burscough and Newburgh. As you can imagine this is a popular summer spot but, for the moment at least, it's all ours.
We woke this morning to the sun streaming into the boat and a mist rising slowly from the water - there's a definite feeling of spring in the air. Trees in bud


and daffodils pushing through
Bring it on!
