More painting?

Before we get on to the subject of painting I thought you might like to see the house opposite the church in Crick.

I'm always fascinated by the thatched entranceway in the wall.

Anyway, we set off through Crick Tunnel and had been advised that it was a wet tunnel. I must say that it was not as wet as some but I was glad to have my boatcoat on.

We stopped for the facilities the other side of the tunnel and this plaque was on the wall.

We walked up to the Co-op for vittals and then made our way through Crick and past Yelvetoft and stopped at another beautiful mooring just past bridge 27. We have stopped here many times before.

I noticed that the towpath was low enough for another round of painting preparation. 

First a delay again because the same contractors came along to cut the grass. This time there was a chap with a strimmer tidying up the edges. He was most surprised when I asked him to strim alongside the boat. Mostly they avoid boats so as not to get grass cuttings all over the sides. I didn't mind brushing that off because now I had short grass all the way along.

Next delay...

Lunch. Chicken rolls, salad, etc.

Third delay - it started rumble with thunder and then it started to rain. Oh well, a bit more work on the nest of tables. They're beginning to look quite good.
