I thought it wasn't meant to rain much today. OK, it wasn't heavy, but it was persistent. We went up Atherstone Locks with the help of our friend Stephen, who had driven over from Coventry for the fun of doing some locks. Thanks Stephen, it made a big difference. We stopped for water at the top and gave our friend coffee, then we moored at the first available space. We now had some hours to kill before Jan's appointment with a hair dresser in Atherstone at 4 pm.
Moving on, we passed this interestingly painted boat:
Wobbly Limited.
Presumably it refers to something in popular culture which has missed us.
We ate tea in shifts on the move, and tied up to Terry and Chris's boat
Grace in Bedworth. We joined them for drinks and chat in their conservatory. Tomorrow the plan is to go with them in a loose convoy up the North Oxford, picking up Stephen and Gwyneth on
Chyandour from the Wyken Arm on the way.
