Last weekend

 On Saturday we decided to set off for the Laughton Hills which are a couple of miles before Foxton Locks. 

But first we needed to take on water. Luckily we were moored right next to the water point but the boat was the wrong way round to fill up from where we were. So, reverse out, out with the hose and wait for quite a while because it's a slow fill. The one at Braunston was so fast that the hose kept blowing itself out of the filler tube. 

After that a turn around and off we go.

Bye, bye Welford, we'll be back soon. 

I keep trying to catch the heron taking off. Nearly got it this time. 

We had to go through Husbands Bosworth tunnel which was comparatively dry for a change. After that only a couple of miles until we stopped at our mooring.

All very quiet. Until we got the pressure washer out. We worked our way down one side of the boat, cleaned all the windows and washed down the back deck. Everything looking a bit better. 

Sunday 

After breakfast we nipped up to the winding hole, spun the boat round, moored up again and washed the other side of the boat and the front deck. 

Much better, we've got rid of all the leaves, cobwebs and dirt that collects in all the holes. 

After lunch we set off back to the marina.

North Kilworth Wharf is fairly busy so a slow chug through. 

Back safely in the marina in time to cook our Sunday roast for supper.
