Alas we attempted to moor on our jetty only to find a visitor on it! Grrrrr!!! This has happened before and we were not amused as we had rung them a few days ago and warned them of our return. As it turned out the message left by Nicki was not acted on and we had to moor on a different jetty that appeared to be empty. Not good enough Aston!
After speaking to Nicki she informed us that the person on our jetty had a broken leg and had come in for a month, this we do not mind but why our jetty when there are loads of others available, it seems to always happen to us.
Anyway the jetty we pulled in on V20 (sorry Ray and Di, you can't get away from us!) turned out to be vacant as George and his wife had left to go to another marina nearer their home, so we can have this one permanently. We are now nearer to the gate, so will have less walking on icy jetties in the winter, so alls well that ends well.
The evening before we left Shugborough a hot air balloon inflated and took off, enjoy the photos
We are in the marina for a few weeks so will continue the blog in the Autumn. Bye, Bye!!

There goes the neighbourhood! We think that you may be stalking us. There will less distance to stagger home through the snow after too much red wine.
