Hunters Moon turning onto the Ashby Canal
After several false starts thanks to our problems with the generator and the solar panels and contemplating returning to Fenny we are now on the Ashby Canal. The past couple of days have started bitterly cold but by the afternoon the temperature has risen to a very pleasant 18°. Today the wind has dropped and we have had a glorious cruise. We have made our usual stop at Spinney Bank Farm Shop where we got the usual warm welcome and some great home-made provisions as well as some tasty looking lamb chops for Sunday dinner.
Peaceful mooring on the Ashby
Just fuelled up from the fuel barge and bought some much needed coal. We came away with some but with the evenings being so cold we have lit the stove every evening - not what we expected. Still it is still only April,
Bluebells along the towpath
Moored tonight at an absolutely beautiful spot just outside Stoke Golding.
