Saturday 24th August

 The day, as forecast, was wet and generally miserable but, to my disappointment, no thunder and lightning. However, showers and sunshine were very much according to prediction.

We were very glad that we weren't tied up on a towpath somewhere running down our fully charged batteries. Far better to be in the marina whilst waiting for storm Lilian to pass by. 

It did afford us the opportunity to meet up for lunch with Harvey & Helen at The Joiners, Bruntingthorpe. The food was delicious and our Cod Fillets were quite substantial. I finished off with Clafoutis, which is a warm crustless tart with plums in it, topped off with ice cream. My description isn't that good but it was heavenly. 


After that, a brief diversion to Aldi to top up on milk and those other items that you didn't realise that you really, really needed, then back to the boat, just missing another brief downpour. 

That's all for today, the adventure starts tomorrow.
