Be aware these posts are a day in arrears....
We were both woken about 5am by heavy rain on the roof. Quite nice being comfy listening to it - I went back to sleep but Rachel didn't. So when the alarm went off at 7.30 I got up and make tea re lit the fire and provided breakfast in bed for Rachel.
We loitered until about 9 when I started the engine jobs - lubrication etc and got us going just before 10am, then it rained hard and it was a nasty mean north westerly wind.
We persevered into showers and a shallow canal in places.... Percy is good on shallow canals but at times you got the feeling there was not a lot if water under the baseplate - other parts not a problem.
We eventually moored up just after bridge 44 before 1pm as we wanted to walk into Market Bosworth. Soup was taken books read then we set off for a 5 mile round trip ( we'd forgotten how much of a hill there is to climb off the canal) We stopped in one of the pubs for refreshment and Rachel did some shopping.
Now it's a sausage casserole in the oven and the fire lit again as its saying 3-6c over night !
