Sunday dawned lovely and we set out north east again, ready to moor up at Stowe Hill for diesel and a visit with Dom and Helen. Elizabeth made scones during the travel to have hot snacks and fresh coffee on arrival. During the visit with talks of knitting, a moss green suede coat and Pete's amazing "Dom's Deisel Calculator" spreadsheet, we watched a steam narrowbaot pass. We heard it well before she travelled under the bridge, allowing Pete to grab Cassie (camera) and be in time to capture Adamant as she travelled gracefully and nosily by. Oh, and the diesel fill was within a fraction of what Bella's Fuel Reckoner anticipated it would be. Pete loves spreadsheets.
