The side hatch view of our Foxton mooring

We set off from our gorgeous mooring late this morning. Within minutes, the rain started. Pete took the first wet tiller spell and Elizabeth took the second, passed an angling competion and brought Bella into mooring just south of Bridge 60 and just short of the top of Foxton Locks.

We were here in May and June last year for Pete to volunteer as Lock Keeper. It's what made him want to do all this full time! This year, we'll be here for him to pick the brains of a seasoned water manager and over the next week, Pete will travel this area learning reservoir management. He is SO excited!

So here we are. This is the view from the side hatch. Heaven. Or a small slice of.
