The rain got heavier and heavier as the morning progressed but did we mind? Not a jot 'cause we didn't have to move (pity all those that have to travel today) so all those jobs waiting for a rainy day was to take place. Ian started to run the cable through from the starter batterie at the back to my battery in the bow. My bait fridge predominantly runs from solar power but we tend to have more overcast days at the moment so my battery needs topping up, hence the cable. Leaving Ian to play I baked a carrot cake just to help him keep his energy levels up and then started on my hundreds of photos to decide which ones to post today. I have tried to narrow them down but I took so many it was difficult to decide. So here are my contribution of yesterdays walk to Sharpness, in a lovely sunny day, far cry from today's miserable weather.
