Lovely day!

WOW! What a beautiful day with the weather! It's days like this that boating was made for. Bright blue sky, no wind, hot sun. Most of the day was spent cruising along in shirt sleves - amazing. Apparently further south it's been overcast and drizzly - such a shame but as it's so rare that it works out that way for me; you'll forgive me if I gloat just a little.

Moored up this evening just before Autherley Junction again, having turned at mid day just after the famous bridge 39, (High Bridge,) in Grub Street Cutting - one of may favourates. Not only do we have no satellite signal as we're in a cutting but I also have next to nothing on the internet so I'm afraid very little pictures again if they'll upload at all! A short stop at Norbury Junction for supplies and an ice cream; as you can imagine, a hive of activity on a day like today!

Then onwards through more cuttings and wooded glades.

One feature of the canals I've noticed on this trip is the amazing amount of tree felling and clearance that BW have obviously done during the winter. We noticed it first along the Coventry but it's been everywhere. Hats off to BW for this as it only really benefits boaters and they get a lot of, (often justified,) bashing most of the time so it's nice to address the balance and give a little praise. The 'place' looks lovely and very tidy!

Right now - I'm off to light the BBQ!
