After we left Welford on the morning of the 28th, we moored up west of Theddingworth, having travelled through much more very shallow canal. It was very hard steering again and the wind was strong with the temperature dropping. By the time we moored, Pete was getting ready to light the stove. The 28th of August, late summer Bank Holiday weekend, saw us lighting Squirrel to get warm (!!!).
We waited nearly two hours in the queue for Foxton locks, but this is not unusual! A few bacon butties from the top lock cafe, a little shopping in the bottom lock chandlery and much knitting made the time go. Sadly Pete managed to lose his phone into the canal, but there we are. By the time we write this, he's already got his new SIM and a new phone. How easy these days!! At the end of the day, we took Josie for a walk to the pub at the bottom lock and we all had a lovely Bank Holiday evening.
