We spent Thursday at our mooring near bridge 211, watching the rain fall! Well, we did get some washing done too. We are now at Apperley Bridge, watching the rain fall. We arrived here on Friday having made the short journey from there.
Since we have been here we took the trek up the hill to Greengates to go to Sainsbury, topped up with diesel, bought a gas bottle and yesterday we went to visit Tim, Margaret and Nicholas. Every time we see Nicholas he seems more pleased to see us, I love his enthusiasm. he was totally unfazed by being left with Ray and I while Tim went to collect Margaret from work. We spent a nice afternoon and evening with them with a lovely Chilli con Carne for dinner.
I'm hoping to watch some of the Thames Pageant today but our TV signal isn't brilliant so I ask Margaret to record it for me just in case.
The weather is so horrible I don't think we will make the journey to Rodley today but tomorrow morning doesn't look too bad.
Friday's journey 2.3 miles, 5 locks and 4 swing bridges
So far this year we have travelled 403.7 miles, 248 locks, 39 swing bridges, 1 lift bridge and 11 tunnels
