Today, as we made our way along the Coventry Canal to Fradley, my mind was wandering and as we got the Streethay Wharf I thought to myself, "Granny Buttons used to moor at Streethay". At that moment I spotted Granny and then I spotted Andrew himself. We exchanged a few words across the water as we passed. We have passed Granny Buttons on the cut a few times over the years but it has always been moored up with no crew on board. In fact the only time we have had a face to face conversation with Andrew was at Crick Boat Show a couple of years ago. So this was something of a first.
Andrew was in the process of starting Granny's engine and his words to me were "I'm off to Birmingham". So there you have it Granny watchers.
