"A rat scraping away at some berries at the top of the tree!"
We counted three different rats at the top of the Hawthorn trees nibbling away for breakfast.
We set off from our mooring at Batchworh at 9am today and the air was crisp and fresh. The engine was again running well and by the time we reached Croxley Green boatyard all was well so we decided to keep going. We now have a good list of engineers and options should anything go awry. To top this we've decided to look into and join the River Canal Rescue, like the AA for boats too.
On our journey today we achieved 9 hours of cruising over 9 miles and through 18 locks, quite an achievement.
We passed back under the M25...

and shared working the locks and tiller...
We have passed the thick of Hemel Hempstead and are now in the suburbs, moored for the night at Boxmoor.
And to top it all off, today I received a brilliant purple flower!
