Rain, Gales and Bitter Cold.

Friday 24th May, 2013 at Crick.
Unspeakable weather!  A very cold day with rain and gales that lasted all through the day until early evening. Other boaters and walkers on the towpath were dressed for climbing Helvelly in mid-winter. The bitter wind reduced the temperature outside to 7 deg C.
However, it did mean that we spent a relaxing day indoors after four days' cruising against the clock.
M was thrilled to see a family of ducklings at breakfast time. The proud mother was carefully shepherding eleven chicks.

Feeding the ducklings with bread was the only time that we went outside all day! Thank heavens for central heating!!
Today: No miles and no locks!
