Today's blog - or maybe tomorrow's

As you may have gathered, yesterday's blog wasn't posted until today and it's quite possible that today's won't be posted until tomorrow. Why? Well, we are moored in a spot where the Internet signal is coming and going, so we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Back to today.

We set off very late in the day and as we went past the C&RT moorings at Sutton Wharf, we saw that they were now in use, having been repaired since we came past on the way up. Shame as we didn't want to stop this time round.

Just a reminder of what the tea room looks like.

As you can see, the weather is overcast but at least we haven't got the biting cold winds. If you enlarge the picture you'll see it's the captain driving while I make the tea.

Stopped off at the farm shop at bridge 23. Excellent place for meat, veg, eggs, milk, etc. Spent a fortune but well worth it. As you can see, we are sporting the latest fashion in full weather rain gear. 

Quite surprised to see a couple of trees full of doves. The second tree got missed as I zoomed in too much and couldn't correct it in time.

Now the forecast said 'overcast' with nothing about rain. Even less about the hailstones that followed soon after.

We've now stopped for the night just after having passed under Watling Street, the good old A5, yes, the one that runs close by to our mooring at Bugbrooke. Seems we can't get away from it.

Supper was a rehash of last night's missed meal and I'm glad to say that I didn't turn it down a second time. It was delicious.

We are now sitting in front of the fire again, reading and snoozing. No diving down the bilges for me tonight.
