Muddy Marge

Poole

Ideal weather for ducks yesterday (Tues). A miserable drive to Poole in torrential rain, the reason to view a flat for sale, but we decided it wasn't for us, and have decided we would rather go for another house to add to our portfolio. 

But, despite the weather Marge is spacious and watertight (unlike previous Marge). 

Parking at the rear of one of our properties, we enjoyed a tasty, hot bowl of minestrone soup for lunch. Whilst we ate, Mr Fox sauntered by, it's funny how the increased sightings of these animals makes you not give them a second glance.

The afternoon was an improving picture, as the clouds parted to reveal a perfect cornflower blue sky. 

The overnight stop for Marge, was one of her regular resting places, the Brittany Ferries ferry terminal, not a very glamorous setting, but it always feels very continental. And further more, the chance to use the lovely hot showers, what's not to like! 

A walk up to Poole quay for a meal, with the wind increasing from the west, It was a case of hats on and t-shirts tucked into our underwear to keep the draught out. Here's hoping our sailing to the Isle of Wight will not be too rough.
