Winter berths. Fleetwood Freeport.

Fleetwood docks with only half the amount of yachts normally berthed there.
We were on a hunt for a nylon down filled jacket for Harry. I have a NZ one that I wear all the time & although Harry has quite a few jackets of various types he always fancied one similar to mine.

Success we got the perfect one at half the price!

Three good things:
1. Saving money!
2. The first new lambs in the field today. I would have stopped but not a good place.
3. I finished my book that I have enjoyed so much. Stayed in bed with the electric blanket on until 10am until I finished it. Miss Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.

Good that you found a jacket for Harry. Must be a busy dock when all the yachts are there.

[Joyce]

Lovely shot of the harbour Pat. I haven't seen any lambs yet. Must look harder!

[Hazel]

I must look up that book now before I forget again! I feel the winter in your shot too. Keep warm, Harry, in your new jacket.

[carol white]

A lovely harbour scene

[Jennifer]

A nice harbour shot with the moody sky! Must look up that book

[Sarah Bremner]

Lovely photo - skies and harbours and boats are very special places.
Good about the jacket too!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Such a wintery scene Pat -- Harry must be chuffed with his new jacket , and to have a bargain to boot !!

[Bep]

Beautiful harbour view.
# I enjoyed reading 'Miss Eleanor Oliphant'. Highly recommended!

Quiet time for the harbour and moorings ... but given a few months and will be completly different .. pleased Harry found the perfect jacket...

[Taffy]

Lovely quiet harbor scene.

[Judith Johnson]

Super sky and composition

[Lou Ann]

I always love the masts in the sky! Wonderful scene.

[Phil Howcroft]

that's a nice big sky Pat, why all the empty berths ?

[KWind]

Nice scene.. I like the light in the sky!

[Wendy]

Beautiful sky overlooking the docks. Perfectly exposed!
So glad you found a jacket for Harry - it was probably half price because winter is almost over. that is the best time to go shopping for winter clothes!
And - so glad to know there are lambs on the ground. Ours will be starting mid-March.

@phil_howcroft no idea Phil, we were just wondering where all the boats were, you would think this is exactly where they would spend the winter!

[Pat Knowles]

@farmreporter you are right about sale time, he's really chuffed with his jacket!

[Pat Knowles]

@dide It us Dianne, not sure where they all are now...South if France maybe! 😀

[Pat Knowles]

@thistle was good to see them, they were very small.

[Pat Knowles]

@quietpurplehaze He will Hazel, book was very different!

[Pat Knowles]

@carolmw quick shot it was pretty windy up that Dock side! Soon went back round the corner!

[Pat Knowles]

@jesperani Thanks Jennifer, worth a read.

[Pat Knowles]

@sarah19 I like boats when tied up, not out at sea!!

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl Yes Beryl, it didn't take him long to decide!

[Pat Knowles]

@gijsje Glad you enjoyed it too Bep, she was a one off that Eleanor!

[Pat Knowles]

@julzmaioro warmer perhaps too Julz!

[Pat Knowles]

@taffy @busylady @louannwarren Thank you all, it was quiet, no one about but it's that time of year. Sea pretty rough for yachts!

[Babs]

Love the pop of red on a grey day.

[Maggiemae]

We read on one of the campers that was around us " Red Wine!... The reason to get up in the afternoon"! Could apply to good books!
Nice to see the many yachts in this Marina in this area! Very popular!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae only less than half full maggie, this is taken from only half way down! Think they must be in sunnier climes! Hope that cyclone doesn't interrupt your travels too much but there again you will have not needed to book accommodation up front!

[Lois]

Love this wintery view of the harbor. The book looks good- it's now in my Amazon cart!

[Phil]

Wonderful sky above that lovely harbour scene. Great atmosphere :)

[Jane Pittenger]

Lovely clouds

[Pat Knowles]

@loweygrace Hope you enjoy Lois. I had heard Reethe Witherspoon is lined up for film adaptation!
