We arrived at our home mooring easily, travelling in the most stunning late summer kind of weather. Just amazing. In the morning light, we could see the hill over Crick tunnel more clearly than usual. This time we could also see the end!
We moored up south-abouts this time, the way we moored when we first came to Welton Hythe, but we haven't been facing this way here for years. What a revelation just to have the sun coming in the other way. And, to E's great delight, the lounge/kitchen side hatch opens to the canal rather than to the bank. It is a delight again to open it whilst cooking and to lean out sipping a cool white whilst the dinner simmers. Ahhhhh.
