A turn back to Rugby

After another wet day and us staying put we decided to move today...
We set off at 11.00am after Del had chopped up and cleared the wood on the roof, and then got water at the bottom of Hillmorton Locks.
We then took the tricky turn, tricky because of all the hire boats which are in the way here. After a lot of shunting we managed to get round, god help a seventy footer. We then made our way back towards Rugby passing our little spot with the fallen tree.
We stopped and picked up all the bits and pieces we had left last time, just tiding up the forest so to speak!!
We got moored up at Brownsover and pulled Derwent6 back into a spot where we could get telly, we also managed to pick up a good WiFi connection, a bonus....
In the evening we met up with Del's Mum Pat and Keith, and we had managed to get some ten pound discount vouchers on line for at Frankie and Benny's, and got a nice table (Sorry we forgot the camera). We had a good catch up and Del opened his birthday present, a Waterbuoy for the engine set of keys. They should now float if we drop them in the canal.. They gave us a lift back to Derwent6 at 10.30pm and we went straight to bed. We will be keeping the fire in for the first time tonight as it appears it's going to get chilly...
