Coal Delivery.

A few posts ago, click here for details, I mentioned the' Man with a Can' could deliver diesel to boaters in drums. He also does coal and as we are moored at Alrewas right by the road, we thought it an ideal opportunity for him to bring us 10 25kg bags. He is still selling at summer prices £8.90 a bag for smokeless and low ash The only thing is we have no idea what sort of coal it is because it came in orange bags. I just hope we have done the right thing and it isnt that horrible smelly stuff that some coal gives off.


Ian pointed out that we are the only boat here with coal on board. It might still be early in the season but I'm determined to be warm when the cold spell hits.

  We have battened down the hatches tonight. If the weather forecast is right ( strong winds and rain ) we are in for a wild few days!!
