A Late Summer?

Well the weather is certainly a little topsy turvey this year. Summer seems to have bloomed again. The weekend looks set to be a cracker with wall to wall blue skies and very reasonable temperatures for the time of year.

With this in mind we are planning a Saturday evening BBQ at Fiskerton Fen. Not a huge distance away from our home berth but far enough to feel as though we have gone somewhere. Saturday morning will be taken up with a few minor jobs to be completed. Our float switch has arrived for the bilge pump and our new anchor light and LED bulb have been delivered so we will fix these before we leave. Plus I need to have a bit of a clean in the cabin and fit some fresh bed linen before we leave. The jobs shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours so with an early start we should be ready to head off by mid morning. On the way through Lincoln we shall nip into the markets to stock up on BBQ grub and vegetables, before setting sail for Fiskerton. Fiskerton is a fantastic setting and at this time of year natures colours will be showing off their splendour.

Sunday will be a much quieter day of chilling out, relaxing and pottering back to our mooring at Burton Waters. We will have to visit the farmhouse at Fiskerton to grab some fresh eggs; they are really hard to beat, before heading back and no doubt calling in at The Pyewipe as we pass for some afternoon refreshments. It has all the hallmarks of another excellent weekend, who knows what will happen?
