My aunty arrived from Fareham on the south coast for a visit to Sawley in landlocked Leicestershire. The weather was rather fine on Sunday so we took the boat out for a short stint to Shardlow. All aboard were; my mum and dad celebrating thier 47th wedding anniversary, Estelle and Charlie (Charlie paying close attention to the leaky Derwent Mouth Lock in the photo above) Aunty Sheila and myself.
It was the first warm day of the year so the boat club was busy as we left. The Trent was pretty high and passing Derwent Mouth there were lots of small whirlpools and the boat got pushed and pulled around before making it onto The Trent and Mersey. We stopped off for lunch in Shardlow and opened a bottle on board to celebrate. It was just like a scene from 'On Golden Pond'.
On the Trent and Mersey... or is it 'On Golden Pond'?
