Yesterday I came back on board after a fabulous weekend at Upton Blues Festival. It was such a nice evening that I decided to go up through the locks. Most of the mooring spaces were taken but I found a convenient Olivia sized space behind a big old former work boat. We had a drop of rain overnight but it quickly dried up and it was a lovely sunny morning. I cruised down close to Braunston but needed to walk back for the car which I hope I can leave for 3 or 4 nights now. By the time I’d got back to Olivia it was already 5pm so I decided to chill out with some reading rather than cruise on and then struggle to find a mooring. I promise to do a bit more tomorrow. Where I’m moored tonight there are lots of big bees but they are not striped but are black with just a tan bottom. Are these foreign bees? I notice another marina being excavated at Barby. At this rate there will be no quiet areas left any more following the adage “If we build it, they will come”.
