Ark ordered

Another wet day and with most of the UK literally underwater already, my thoughts have returned to boating , with the emphasis on an ark, although to be fair, whatever they did with our local flood defences last year appear to have worked. The fields which were underwater are still visible to date, a major achievement given the endless days of rain so far this winter.

Today was internment of Sue's ashes day. It rained in gale force winds so luckily the service was short, but moving. Afterwards we all opted to visit a pub in Groby and Derek then proceeded to buy all eleven of us lunch, which proved to be excellent. From there we returned to Derek's for coffee so it was16.30 before we returned home with the wind stronger and colder.
