| Leaving Coventry Behind Us |
 |
| Back past Cash's Hundred Houses |
The weather isn’t so good today, but it was dry when we went
up into the city centre to the market to get some fruit and veg, they do a bowl
full for £1, really good value. We
bought some strong cheese and eggs as well, then back to the boat and we
chugged off. We stopped for water at the
water point just outside the basin, then on we went back up the canal leaving Coventry
behind us.

We have enjoyed our stay in
Coventry, it is a really nice city with lots to see, well worth a visit. Back past Cash’s 100 houses, through the
narrow bit and on up the canal. We
passed two boats on the way back up to the junction and we had a couple of
small showers, but nothing too much. After
a couple of hours, we were back at Hawkesbury Junction where we filled up with
water again as we had done the washing on the way up, so needed to top the tank
back up. As we were getting water, we
had a heavy shower of rain, but luckily we were both inside, so didn’t get wet.

| Passing the Old Engine House |
 |
| Passing Hawkesbury Junction |
We chugged on past the junction, past the old Engine House
and moored up just past there in the visitor moorings. We had just moored up and there was another
heavy shower. It hasn’t been that warm
today, so this afternoon we lit the fire, first one of the season, then guess
what, the sun came out!! Still, it got
chilly this evening, but we were nice and toasty.
We are staying here tonight, then heading on tomorrow.
