It was a bright and cold start this morning, so was yesterday come to think of it, thick frost and frozen lines (ropes) as we prepared for the off. I had mentioned to Jill (Nb Matilda Rose) that the roads I would have to drive on (we have our car with us ahead of the Christmas visiting) would not have seen any grit; they are so minor as to be barely more than farm tracks in places, and that perhaps I would be better off staying at Prickwillow ahead of a trip to see family in Norfolk tomorrow.
By the time we had moored up for water all of 15 minutes after pulling pins my 'thought' had become a plan. So we on Yarwood have stayed at Prickwillow and Nb. Matilda Rose has moved on towards Judes Ferry; we will join them on Thursday.
Our view of Ely and it's grand cathedral as we left yesterday

Breasted up last night at Toms Hole Farm mooring - room for one narrowboat only so hence the arrangement

Off this morning, blue sky and gilded reeds and unlike fellow bloggers/boaters on the canals....NO ICE!
