Passing a Blog Reader
The weather had been very unpredictable over the last few days. The decision to moor up yesterday turned out to be right with strong winds, heavy showers accompanied by thunder and lightening.
The noise of the rain was deafening in the cratch while venturing there to take the photo.
Today we made it as far at Loughborough and moored in the recently refurbished basin before the showers arrived.
Just before we left we had a comment left on our blog by Nick Ferrar saying he was cruising the opposite way round the Leicester Ring so we would be passing somewhere.
He explained he was cruising on a boat from Oxfordshire Narrowboats so when we spotted one of their fleet coming round the corner we had the camera ready. There was just time to check it was Nick as we passed – hopefully he’ll leave a comment when reaching home to name the other four crew members.

Great to meet you the other day Paul if rather briefly. I think it’s a great photo. Left to right we are, my son Simon, my niece Clare, my son’s friend Joshua, me (Nick Ferrar) and last but not least Lucy the dog! We had a great trip round the Leicester ring and I can assure you we left BumbleBee Lock all in tact we passed through a day or so before you!

Nick: Thanks for identifying the crew members. I’m sorry we didn’t pass somewhere better to chat for a while.
