Today we did a grand total of 2.5 miles and for a change, we had no issues, dramas or upsets during the cruise. The plan was to go as far as possible before the predicted rain started and, well, we only got as far as Leighton Buzzard to do a shop when we felt the first drops. Got slightly damp walking to Aldi but on our return, the rain had stopped. Mind you, even if it had been torrential we would still have had to move FS from these 2-hour moorings, enough time for a shop but not for lunch, so Ian got us underway while I stowed the groceries.
Deciding to get moored before the rain started again we pulled in just after Mardle Road Footbridge so only about half a mile further. Aerial went up and we settled into, what we assumed would be, a wet afternoon. It stayed dry until 5 pm!. Annoying really as we could have continued for another couple of hours. Never mind, I had a very good bug hunting expedition in the nearby waste ground which left Ian unhindered to play with the engine!

There are loads of Ladybirds at this time of year, all emerging from their pupae.
