Queen's Diamond Jubilee


Today is the first day of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. We only  boated for about 3 hours today , including 5 locks, but there were many boats dashing around early all in a rush to get somewhere.We don't have to be anywhere, so we are moored up in a quiet place with only one other boat in view. Mike lit the stove as it was  a bit chilly and I set about making dinner. It's cosy in our little boat when the stove is lit and before long it began to rain. In the distance we can hear the sound of a Jubilee firework display going on somewhere, but far more important , we can hear the sound of rain pitter pattering on the canopy and the screech of an owl in the trees outside. I know where I'd rather be.
