Yesterday afternoon the sun came out, on went the solar charging and we sat out the back chatting to our boating neighbours Eddy and David. A lovely couple who live full time on their 60′ apart from the winter when they take their motor home to Spain or Portugal…..

The local church clock chimed away, and the butchers produce was delicious last night. We spent the evening with our neighbours again, and gave them a lift down to the services at Fradley Junction this morning. Morning tea turned into lunch then we decided to cruise the last 3 locks to our pick up point. It’s blowing a gale, which made mooring difficult, hopefully it will die down tomorrow morning on the slipway.

Leicester Ring done ! We are starting to think about going home, where somebody is waiting! But first one more night on the Wey, and an overnight stop in Western Australia to see mum and dad….
