Final Day

This morning we went back to the yard to photograph anything we'd missed before and so I took shots of silly things like cleats, bridge-shooting crutches and fenders ...



the keel and the framework that we need to make to support her when she moves to Cornwall and will be living on the Harbour head ...


plus one proud owner standing with his new toy ...

aah bless!

However as there wasn't very much else to do on Crocus we thought we'd have a drive to Potter Heigham and a wander around Latham's store. It was now lunchtime so we moved to the Staithe at Womack Water and parked almost in front of the webcam.

I texted Jamie but he never saw us as the picture didn't change while we were there - must be either broken or switched off. It was now time to go back to the yard, take all the cushions off Crocus and then tuck her up ready to leave her while we return to Cornwall. We'd rung TonyTugboats in the hope that he might have an imminent part load for Norfolk and then he could bring Crocus home for us but there is nothing planned at the moment. Can't wait to get her home! We had a last walk around Cox's yard as it was such a lovely afternoon and we saw the solar boat just going out on a trip ...

plus this lovely yacht moored up ...

and then this little family of Egyptian geese ...

We were putting off the evil hour of saying goodbye to Barton Turf and our new baby but eventually we pulled away and headed back to the campsite.
