Our idea was that we would moor at a place in the middle of nowhere where we had stayed on our way to Tamworth. It was not meant to be there were a couple of other narrowboats moored there so we opted for nearby. Sadly no TV what a difference just a few metres make.
Today we set off at about 10am and so hit rain and it got heavier, not a chance of it clearing up. Poor Les he was wet and cold on the back of the boat. We stopped on the outskirts of Nuneaton for lunch and then we turned on the the Ashby canal and moored at the Lime Kilns pub.
Arriving there at around 4pm. A long wet day. We have been very lucky this is only the second time during the last 5 weeks that we have been hindered by rain.
It's still raining now at 9.30pm. It stopped for about 30 mins only. Hopefully tomorrow will bring some sunshine.
The swans here keep knocking their beaks against the boat asking for food they will put their heads through the open windows, I am also very aware how careful you need to be as they will snap at you and could do some serious damage. Beautiful creatures but not as gentle as they look.
