Slow Saturday

A whole week aboard Saros now and it feels more like a month. It was very satisfying having at last completed the Ashby Canal; we first tried to go up it in April 2000, but were beaten back by a blizzard, then again in December 2010, when thick ice stopped us. 


Another lazy day today down the two locks at Glascote and ambling through pleasant sunny countryside to stop eventually at Whittington where a good Cantonese take-away provided us with a nice curry for our evening meal. Highlight of the day was crossing the R. Tame: 
The weather was every bit as nice as it looks, and to prove that Barbara does occasionally drive, here's another picture on the aqueduct: 
All for today - Barbara's arranged to go ringing at St. Giles (Whittington) for their Sunday service in the morning while I watch the Chinese Grand Prix.
