Terminus - all change

Too late for last night's blog entry, a view of the moon in all its splendour. 

Once again, a lazy start to the day but, eventually, we set off right through the middle of Bosworth Field. 

Doesn't look much, does it? But it was on this field, or nearby, that the Tudors came to power.

A coolish day with a hint of some sunshine. Or, as it noted on Facebook, 50% chance of precipitation sounds better than 'it might rain or it might not!'

Made our way past the official Battlefield Moorings but we both thought that where we had moored was both closer and nicer.

As we approached Market Bosworth we noticed the pleached hedges that we saw being laid down over 5 years ago.

A the start they look quite bare and sorry for themselves but, years later and look how they've grown.

About a mile above Market Bosworth and the canal becomes a SSSI. (Site of special scientific interest) There are many wooded stretches and then views over farm fields. And, all too soon, we have arrived at the terminus of the canal. 

We are stopped about 100yds from the winding hole where we will have to turn round tomorrow. But, here we are for the night and, before settling down to a roast beef supper, a short walk back to Snarestone to have a look at the village we had just motored under.

Under? You say. Yes, the tunnel goes right under the village.

Although not built over the tunnel, have a look at this lovely house. No, not a house. The yellow lines and notices on the railings give it away, it's the village school.

Well, that's all for tonight. The 50% rain is now raining, the fire's alight and the supper is cooking. Let's hope for better weather tomorrow.
