What weather, last night we experienced more wind than we did during the storm, it even blew a rope fender off the roof, then today at times it was raining stair rods coming in sideways. It did brighten up a bit this after noon but moments after we had finished mooring up it started raining again.
As we were moored at Sutton Cheney wharf last night we just had to have another cooked breakfast again which meant we were a bit later getting away. 1045hrs. Thanks to all the rain the canal was well on weir and flowing into the spill.
The rain eased as we got to The Ashby Canal Centre, for some reason many years ago BWB put some lovely towpath moorings in along here, I always thought they belonged to the Canal Centre just through the bridge on the off side, but it seems not.
Yesterday I posted a picture with the bridge parapet walls split down, I wonder it it would prevented the parapet wall collapsing when this happens to the stone work beneath it.
From lunch time onwards we had thick cloud ahead and bright blue sky behind us and some interesting cloud formation at the interface, I took several pictures hoping to get a good one.
I noticed this CRT notice post against the hedge, the farmer has obviously flailed his hedge and didn’t see the post creeping up on him. I don’t know if he lowed the hedge by a couple of foot or maybe he just wasn’t looking.
