Hot! Hot! Hot!

It was a hot night but with the porthole flyscreens in we got a good nights sleep. We were up at 8.00am and Del was doing the brasses before it got too hot. He also painted the white on the stern. It soon got too hot to handle so we sat in the shade for the best part of the day. Lovely! It actually hasn't been very busy here which is surprising as the Crick Show is just round the corner. In the afternoon we went for a walk with the rubbish and as we passed Chas and Ann from n.b. Moore2life they poked their heads out. We took their rubbish as well and walked up to the locks. We helped the Steam boat n.b Laplander up through and then walked back to Derwent6 via a cold drink and a chat with Chas, Ann and friends.

When we eventually got back we ran the engine and sat out in the cratch with a glass of wine. We watched Countryfile to get the weeks weather with some dinner, before a cool shower and bed. What a super day.
