Breezy morning. Weather could go either way.Dry during the night so gloss on bow is dry. A few insects stuck there but not many.
Alison went to seek out the farm shop near bridge 74 on the Trent and Mersey after breakfast.
Andrew cleaned the laundry dryer and hung it in the shower. Did a few pants and socks. Will see how well it dries. Added some extra hooks above the key rack for padlocks.
Under way 10:30. Farm shop well stocked but eye-wateringly expensive! Beautiful meat however - lamb leg steaks a real indulgence. And mint sauce from the canal bank!
Varnish strip continuing while under way. Once moored at Penkridge (14:45) put on a 2nd coat of gloss and 1st coat of wood stain.
Annoyingly then had some rain that wasn't forecast leaving the gloss rather pebble-dashed...
