Another murky day, we could plainly see the trains passing but didn’t hear them at all, it shows what a difference wind direction makes. It was very slightly cooler but felt quite a bit colder, strange.
This week I have posted a couple of photos of unusual chimney caps, well here is another.
The flooding on the fields at Grendon was nowhere as bad as I have seen after other wet spells, maybe they have improved the drainage.
We had a good run as far as the weir just before Polesworth when we caught up with a motor and pair, so from here to Alvecote it was a steady 2.7MPH. where Malcom moored them up by the Samuel Barlow.
We chugged on meeting another boat just by the entrance to Alvecote Marina and then a clear run to the top of the Glascote pair of locks where there was a boat about to come out of the top lock, not only that they had weft the top gate of the second lock open as well. A Christmas present to us. We moored by the aqueduct about half a mile before Fazeley Junction, but as soon as were were off the boat we were aware of a very noisy generator on the boat a good 100 yards ahead, so we moved on, through the junction and moored at the far end of the visitor moorings for the night.
