Green day

The day didn't start well. Two holiday boats had moored in the lock pound and got the drop on us this morning. They were absolutely clueless. The boat in front of us lost their rag with them and gave them a frank appraisal of their skills. The captain wasn't too happy about the situation either.

Once clear of the locks we got past them and the day improved considerably.

Today we did green, lots of green, vast amounts of green that stretched as far as the eye could see. With little else apart from the odd isolated farm.



Even in the middle of nowhere the gongoozlers found us.



We think they are Buffalo, definitely not your average cow.

The day continued in much the same vein, huge expanses of green and vast blue skies.

So this tight bit came as a bit of a surprise!




It didn't last long, it was an old tunnel that has been opened out near the delightfully named village of Fenny Compton. Then it was back out into the fields and moored up for the day.
