Saturday 21st June


We were meant to be setting off today on our big trip but we woke up to pouring rain and the weather forecast is fairly bleak for the rest of the day. The river is very quiet considering it is Saturday and we have only seen one boat go past our mooring and they looked fairly miserable.

We have therefore decided it will be better to postpone our departure until tomorrow. We have booked to go through Stanground lock, near Peterborough at 10am on Monday morning, so regardless of the weather we will have to get going by tomorrow lunchtime.

Terry and Carol are on their way up as they intended to travel through the first couple of locks with us to see us on our way. We have booked to eat at The Kings Head in Apethorpe with them instead, which sounds equally appealing. Apethorpe is one of my favourite villages in this area and I will be interested to see if the pub comes up to my expectations.

We are still excited and the weather hasn't dampened our enthusiasm ------ YET!
