End of The Line.

 We had fish and chips for two between three of us and still had a full portion of chips left over last night. The sun was shining brightly this morning and we didn't rush about on our last day. Still, it was just after 10 am when we let go.

We have passed this way so often that there is little to excite me to pick up my camera. However under the trees, just after Handsacre the Little Chimney Co boat, Tradewind and butty were moored up. If you need anything like a flue of chimney I would definitely recommend them. They refitted my flue and fabricated a stainless steel, double skinned chimney for me.

As we turned into the marina we spotted these tufted ducks (we think). What struck us was the way the ducklings stuck very close to the mother, unlike mallards and moorhens that seem to scatter to the four winds. We did wonder whether this meant if this meant that they were more successful at breeding larger numbers.

We reversed on to the fuel berth and filled up with 100.71 litres of fuel. At 90 p/lt for moorers it isn't too bad for a two week holiday. They did say that they were expecting the price to drop later in the day, but didn't say what to. If not with Aquavista the price would be £1! That makes Wheaton Aston price of 82.9p/ltr look very attractive.
Talking of attractive, with the neighbour away I can get a nice photo of the polished boat.

Our neighbour was away on her travelso as it was a little windy it made it very easy. As it happened all went well anyway and we were soon back moored up. After a few jobs being done, packing and all the other little jobs, we were away at just after 13:00. The motorway was busy but we kept going and weren't too long getting back to East Yorkshire. We are already looking forward to the next time away.
