Monday 29th November

 Wanted to move today, but bloody canal is frozen. Stuck here till tomorrow then.

Thursday 25th November

 Cruised to Yardley Gobian to turn, and picked up a fishermans keepnet on the prop in the winding hole.

Eventually managed to clear it and cruised to just below Cosgrove lock in order to shelter from the forecast storm.

Probably move on again Sunday or Monday.

November 21st 2021

 Moved today, and headed north.

Engine decided to play up. Started billowing black smoke and only firing on three cylinders.

Through Cosgrove lock, up onto the 48's and moored.

Spent the rest of the day and Monday sorting the engine. Looks like a valve rocker has come loose. Anyway, eventually sorted.

 

Cosgrove nature reserve

A walk over to the nature reserve this afternoon.

 

 Took a stroll around the nature park in Cosgrove. A bit quiet wildlife wise, but ever so peaceful.
