We must be getting
lazy because for the third weekend in a row the furthest we have ventured is
Lincoln city centre. You don’t need to go far to enjoy yourself as we are
currently finding out. The sum total of our travelling this weekend has been
just five miles and that is in two trips!
It all started on
Friday night with a cruise down to Lincoln Boat Club for a few beers. As we
were in Lincoln to do some shopping on Saturday night we moored on the boat
club mooring for the evening before heading onto the Riverside Centre moorings
on Saturday morning. From here the shops are all within easy walking distance
of the boat.
With the shopping
finished and the sun shining we couldn’t really be bothered to move on so we
cracked open a few beers and watched the world go by. We had a fleeting visit
from a pair of flamenco dancers keen to advertise their business with some
photographs taken on the boat before late in the afternoon heading back to the
marina for the evening, enjoying a fine dinner of mackerel, homemade mustard
potato salad and rocket salad.
After a quick breakfast
on Sunday morning and a brief run out in the dinghy we set off again in the
direction of Lincoln. This time deciding to anchor in Brayford Pool as the sun
was yet again shining down on us. We enjoyed a fine afternoon of sun bathing on
the bow before bidding our retreat into the cockpit as the storm clouds
gathered overhead. Under stormy skies we eventually set off for home where we
enjoyed another fine dinner of homemade Chicken Kiev’s, sautéed new potatoes,
baby corn, purple sprouting broccoli and sugar snap peas. A great end to another great weekend.
Here is just a small
selection of photographs from this lazy weekend for your viewing pleasure.
