After a spell back in Atherstone we cruised back to Hartshill to make the most of our payment for the winter mooring and see in the end of March. The weather is gradually turning fine and the skies were giving us a great delight.
Sunshine was teeming inside during the days, and it's times like these I am grateful for having such an abundance of windows!
It was Sunday 27th March and time to move towards Nuneaton and our destination, Springwood Haven.
We left Hartshill behind...
and made our way slowly through the gentle green hills...
and round the corner to the marina.
Springwood Haven is a lovely marina and small chandlery on the Coventry Canal. We have frequented it when requiring the 'facilities' and have always had lots of help from staff. When looking for quotes to have the hull blacked and steelwork painted up they came up top trumps all round, so we are keen to have the work done here.
So, we moored up
and out came pickles...
the little water-rat...
to snoop around...
and explore the rockeries up the hill...
making herself feel quite at home in no-time, towering over the marina...
And after being made very welcome by the caretakers at Springwood Haven we snuggled down for the night ready and excited for the days ahead.
