Having longed for some blue skies and warmth throughout August to no avail we are now enjoying a very hot, sunny early September. Narrowboats, being made of steel, are not the most friendly of environments in very hot weather so our main task on this first cruusing day has been to find shade. We found a very pleasant mooring in dappled shade for a lunch stop then moved on to another of our favourite spots to moor overnight. We hoped we would be lucky, with it being such a perfect spot on a hot day, and not find it full. Our luck was in and we spent a relaxing afternoon and evening with just the sound of the sheep bleating and bird tweeting.
Dappled shade for our lunch stop!
Our perfect overnight mooring!
These won't be there for long!

Our departure was delayed by a day because we had the unexpected opportunity to catch up with fellow boaters, Jane and Ian on nb Esio Trot who had arrived back at their home mooring, Dunchurch Pools Marina, on Sunday after a summer cruising the Kennet and Avon. We hadn't seen them for years so it was good to catch up with all their news and share boating adventures over a cuppa and Sid even managed a walk round the marina.
