Wednesday 13th August

It was a very bad start to the morning as we had to set the alarm for 6am. As a result, neither of us slept well, thinking we might miss it. We left the boat at 7am to make our way to Essex. The roads were clear initially but the traffic started to build up as we neared our destination.
Our first stop was the dentist for Tom, then a visit to the crematorium and finally we caught up with Tom's Dad. Unfortunately we couldn't stay too long this time as we wanted to miss the traffic on the way home and return the hire car tonight.
We came home the country route and it was only in the last half hour that the heaven's opened. We returned the car and they dropped us back to our boat.
It has now been raining steadily all evening and is quite cold again. We are moving on tomorrow and have been told that the weather forecast is better - let's hope so!
