This was Slapton Lock this morning all set ready for Paul to go in. Just look at that blue sky you would think it was the middle of summer. Good job you cant see us all wrapped up in scarves and gloves.
Had a nice journey making the most of the sunshine, only 3 locks to Leighton Buzzard where yet again I availed myself of Tesco. Needed to get a couple of sacks of dog food while we were close to the canal. It is okay carrying our stuff in rucksacks but a 17kg sack of dog food is a bit of a struggle, saying that we do have a nice trolley so I don't really know what I am going on about.
We are now moored up below Leighton Lock with Tom from Wirral Wanderer and quite a few others. Understand there is a pub close by so no doubt we will investigate that later. Think we are in for a spot of rain and wind tomorrow so depending how strong the wind is will determine how long we stay here. Tom has very kindly offered to run Paul to Cowroast to get some coal. As I write this Paul is fishing again, he is a bit put out as the TV reception here is awful no digital at all and no BBC1 or channel 5 on terrestial. Paul was convinced it was the freeview box but every boater he has spoken too have said they cant get digital either so it looks like the box has been saved from a watery grave for today at least.
