This is how it has mostly been since we set out from Great Haywood on Tuesday...we have just been down to Fazeley junction near Tamworth to give the boat a good run to charge up the batteries and to reacquaint ourselves with boating after a five month lay off. We never intended it to be this long but ill health and various crises have kept us away much longer than we planned. Of course, it also means we missed the lovely sunny weather last month and now seem to be in the monsoon season!
I keep telling myself we need the rain, the canals need the rain, if we are to be able to cruise through the summer months. So just grit the teeth and dress up warm!
It's maybe true what they say...sometimes we get what we need and not what we want!
