Cold.

Yesterday we took Magpie II to Clifton Cruisers for Blacking and engine service. It was the first time we have ever cruised in November and it was much colder than anticipated. I don't have any gloves on board but I soon will have.

The locks at Hillmorton have had a new beam fitted.



Other than that everything was much the same, just very few boats moving.



We then had a 6 mile walk back to the marina to pick up the car so when we finally got home, and with it being Saturday night, we decided to pop to The Midland in Bearwood for a quick drink. The beer was great and even managed a bit of celeb spotting when Adrian Chiles sat at the next table.
