First thing this morning was the drippy Crick Tunnel, then we tied up so we could walk in to the village. The church was open; inside, on the altar, people had placed pebbles indicating that they had prayed or would pray for Ukraine.
When we got back to the boat after a walk round Crick we had lunch, then set off again on the winding route through the Northamptonshire countryside. The oilseed rape crops were smelling very strongly.
We stopped a couple of miles short of North Kilworth so that we could do the last bit tomorrow morning to ensure we had a full tank of hot water. I'm hoping we'll be able to connect a shoreline when we're in the air for blacking, as at Debdale Wharf, but just in case ...
After tea we went for another walk, this time crossing into Leicestershire and taking the direct route from Bridge 40 to North Kilworth, then by the road to South Kilworth, then across the golf course back to the bridge and back to the boat. This pheasant was the most colourful bird we encountered.
And
Jubilee looked nicely tucked into the side of the canal as dusk began to fall.
