So we are on the long downhill slope to Leicester, passing numerous homes..

Some have nice gardens, whilst others look a trifle unkept.

Upon entering Leicester there are a lot of swans, Leicester City Football Club, numerous University buildings and the Mile Straight.

For a city it’s remarkably tidy, green and graffiti free so far. The girls are out shopping, then it’s a few more locks and out into the countryside again.

It took a while to find our evening mooring spot. Great to be back in the country, on a river surrounded by lakes. One more day of fine weather then the rains are coming…
