https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/ July 09 Yes there is a bird in this picture! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=42882497 42882497 One of the many dragonflies and mayflies that we see flitting around the boat. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=42882498 42882498 This is a de Havilland Dragon Rapide - we spotted it in the skies as we were approaching Ely. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=42882499 42882499 We have never seen this magnificent building from the river before. What a great view. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=42882500 42882500 Another example of waterside art that we passed on the way from Ely to Little Thetford. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=42882501 42882501 One of the drinking establishments we cruised past on our way through Ely. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=42882502 42882502 Ely is actually only built on one side of the river, the other side is just fields as far as the eye can see once past the marina. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=42882503 42882503 This is the spot where we were moored for the night. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=42882504 42882504 It was great to see Helen and Steve again - at least there was no ice this time! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=42882505 42882505 Clive, Irene and John. We had tied Lady Arwen to Rosie Piper and were just drifting along in the middle of the river chatting! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=42980251 42980251 Hmm now there's a question! I shall be going to Burwell in a few weeks time to my music summer school, but not by boat! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=42980250 42980250 Clive and I know this dratted road extremely well. We both used to use it every day to get to work at one time! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=42980249 42980249 We have been to this pub a few times, usually in Clive's TR6 when we have been out for a drive. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=42980255 42980255 It is not so long since Clive and I walked along the road looking at all the residential boats moored on Cam. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=42980252 42980252 Its so spooky seing this bridge from underneath instead of whizzing over it by car! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=42980253 42980253 We had our first cruise on the Cam in this trip boat with a load of Folkies! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=42980254 42980254 We have also been to this pub on several occasions too! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=42980256 42980256 Vicki's lovely friend Bushra came and spent a couple of hours with us on board. It was great to see her again. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=43188313 43188313 We saw this strange sight as we were cruising along. I wonder what it really is? https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=43928004 43928004 This large pike had an even bigger pike nibbling its tail as it was being pulled from the water! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=43928002 43928002 This one didn't get away - however it did get put back in the water! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=43928005 43928005 If you look to the left of the photo you can see just how high the wall is and why I had trouble getting on and off! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=43928408 43928408 This bridge is 500 years old! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=43928409 43928409 Moored on a little cutting next to the Dolphin Hotel. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=43928006 43928006 Well, not really wild, we spotted these animals on a farm on the banks of the river. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=44181961 44181961 Looking back - just one of the lovely views we have had this morning. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=44181962 44181962 Just up ahead was the A14 bridge but this was the original bridge over the river at Huntingdon. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=44181964 44181964 Moored at the side of the lock in Godmanchester. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=44181963 44181963 Lady Arwen's home for the next few weeks. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=44647360 44647360 The marina is surrounded by cute little wooden cabins - second homes! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=44647361 44647361 Our gorgeous great niece, my brother Nick's granddaughter, James and Carmen's little girl. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47384513 47384513 Our gorgeous great nephew, again Nick's grandson, son of Natalie and Craig. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47384514 47384514 https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47389689 47389689 Holly and Matt who have just announced their engagement. Congratulations to them both. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47384812 47384812 We saw many of these beautiful dragonflies flitting around the garden. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47389690 47389690 We enjoyed Gecko spotting most evenings when they came out to catch insects. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47389691 47389691 No idea what it is but there were lots of them in and around the garden. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47389692 47389692 The pool always looked so inviting! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47389693 47389693 We think they were building a nest in this cow bell which was hanging on the gate. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47389694 47389694 Mum and Pop, Clive's parents, celebrating 60 years of marriage! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47389695 47389695 If the canal was this colour I'd be in like a shot! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47389696 47389696 Well the one behind me is! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47389698 47389698 These insects make the most incredible noise, especially when there are a lot of them, it sounds electronic! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47389700 47389700 These little wasps used to land on the pool to drink. These are in the garden pond. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47389704 47389704 We often saw these birds sitting on the backs of the sheep in the field next to the villa! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47389703 47389703 We managed to get mum and pop to get this far in by the middle of the week. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47389697 47389697 We finally got them into the pool by the end of the week - well it was very hot! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47391135 47391135 He decided to venture in one day - its been a while since he last went swimming! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47391131 47391131 Don't worry, there was some water left in the pool afterwards! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47391132 47391132 Well she doesn't really but certainly enjoyed cooling off in the pool with Carol and Ivan's assistance. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47391133 47391133 We all thoroughly enjoyed the pool with its gorgeous views. I nearly lived in it! https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47391134 47391134 Clive's parents on our last night in Alcudia. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47389699 47389699 Taken at a restaurant in Alcudia on our last night. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47389701 47389701 We had a lovely evening the night before we flew home. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47389702 47389702 Again taken on the last night of our holiday. https://www.morrisfolk.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=47389705 47389705
