We woke up to warmth and sunshine this morning, for the first time this year I enjoyed my coffee outside.I really feel as if spring is here at last. Cruising in the sunshine, a field of lambs beside Seabrook middle lock, daffodils in full bloom and a brood of twelve tiny ducklings between Ivinghoe and Horton.
Loads of help at the locks today, with boaters heading in the opposite direction and others following behind, even managed to pair up for three locks. So nice to enjoy the sunshine.
It hasn't been an exciting day, just a leisurely cruise. We are moored back at Leighton Buzzard in almost the same spot as we were at Christmas. We plan to stay here until at least Friday, I have a continuous cruisers meeting to attend in Rugby on Thursday and the station here is as convenient as any, easier to get to than Milton Keynes.
We will spend the next few days doing some thing around the boat. We are thinking of doing a bit of remodelling of the cratch area to make it a nicer area to sit in the sunshine.
