We always sleep well in the bed cabin as it is very dark with only 2 tiny portholes, but this morning we really exceeded ourselves, waking at 9.50 to find Thursday's Child already gone - so missing our last farewell.
6 boats passed going in our direction so we knew once again it was going to be a busy flight of locks before the 2042yard tunnel. We have had the privilege of a sneak preview of a lot of the historic boats making their ways to Braunston - beautiful old carriers with chuffing engines and bright signage. We locked through the Braunston locks with a very nice couple and their 2 very well behaved west highland terriers who have their bed on the roof under a cleverly rigged umbrella to keep them cool. This boater and our friends we met yesterday both have puzzling problems with their boat electrics and both are questioning whether to continue boating. Like cars, boats are great when they are running well, but such a worry when not.
Tonight we moored opposite Weltonfield boatyard, having turned onto the Leicester section of the Grand Union. And it rained again!
