And look at the sky - it's sunny again. I'm going to repeat that - it's sunny again. The reason for the repeat is that everyone dahn sahf is raving on about how hot August has been but the weather up here has been very mixed. Granted we've been in shorts most days but we've had our share of sunshine and showers. Told you I was a grumpy old man!
Now on the river bit approaching Barrow upon Soar.
Just approaching the bridge at Barrow and trying to work out which arch to go through. There are 3, 1 with canoes and boats, so not that one, another with a mooring buoy in the middle, so, let's go for the only one remaining.
Phew, safely through and from this side you can see even more arches.
We had a brief look at Barrow and not much has changed. Except that the butcher we always used has retired at last and it is now a sweet shop. Anyway, we are now zooming past the posh part of Barrow where houses and gardens sweep down to the riverside.
Looking good with private mooring all ready for the off.
I love this place, it has a row of cannon ports along the outside - repel boarders! Broadside Mr Christian!
Sorry, got carried away just then. A picture of horses. As long as we have known it there have been horses in this field, but this time there a many more than ever before.
Approaching Mountsorrel and it's good to see the new development has some boats in their private marina.
And then on to Sileby Mill in time for an afternoon cuppa.
A look across at the mill.
And a last look at the boat before turning in for the night.
