Funny old weather....

...and I'm still pootling.

It's been a while since my last post, with not much happening.
I hung around Newbold for a week or so, managed to get the bow bulkhead around the doors painted in between the cold and the wind and the rain showers.

I headed back to Rugby and topped up with perishables before going back through the Hillmorton locks, again, I am getting to know this section of the canal too well, and moored there for a couple of nights.

Today I headed back to Hillmorton Wharf to get some gas and smokeless fuel, it was bright and sunny with a bit of a breeze but ok really. Unfortunately they had no coal of any description, the continuing cold weather has caught a few out, me included, but I got a gas refill so I'll use the central heating as needed.

I moored up just before Braunston again and will wait out Karl's imminent arrival here, moving into Braunston and winding (turning around) the day he is due so we are both facing the correct way and  then we will both have 48hours mooring available if needed, well that's the plan anyway, we'll see. I think he shoild be here by Friday if not before.

So after mooring I decided to wash the roof, the sun was shining but the wind was cold and just as I finished a mini blizzard struck, wind, hailstones and sleety snow........
........funny old weather.
