A shiny in the Sunshine


Sunshine again first thing so decided to stay put...
With Derwent6 shining from all that polishing yesterday we sat out the front and watched 26 boats go by. Yes 26 we counted them...... Blimey they must be all the weekend boaters out on their first spring break. We counted six boats all in one line on their way up to Rugby followed by these two guys and a dog.
They call us shiny's on the cut because it is a new boat, so Water Gypsies must come later. So not much to report as we just had a really lazy day. We did watch the Rugby in the afternoon.

Here is another quiz for you....When out of our walk yesterday we spotted this tower..It was being used for mobile phone aerials, but what was it for originally?....
The tower is on the ourskirts of Dunchurch and looks like a water tower with windows.....

I think that is what it is, a water tank.

It was a water tower. I grew up in Rugby and from my school playing field we could see this in the distance.
Still reading your blog

its a gnome pool. All us gnomes go to places like this for a swim when the are no humans about. Hope that answers your question.
