Short Post

Today we have left the Ashby canal Behind in a violent storm, I was soaked to the skin we had enough rain in two hours to last us until July and winds that sent Buggerlugs sideways. The Ashby was a very pleasant canal full of  interesting places, moorings are not to bad and the traffic light though we are still in the quiet season I imagine in the high summer it would get chaotic. We hung around a bit as John had an appointment with the chiropodist as he had a bad foot, we used the in forced lay up to visit Leicester by bus we thought its not far 20 min on the bus, no way 80 mins of bone shaking therapy. Leicester  is not a bad little city but it has nothing to make it stand out, the cathedral is quite small, and the centre is very confusing, we walked in circles, but it does have a nice covered market. The fishing was good on the Ashby canal plenty of decent Bream, shops were in short supply but really if you want peace and quiet you have to give up something.  Tomorrow we will be in Coventry, we are hoping to get moorings in the town centre where we shall reach the terminus of the Coventry Canal.    Maryanne is coming for the day on Sat so that will keep us on our toes.  Looking forward to her visit
