Up the locks, just in Chico time

With the clocks springing forward we got up a bit late this morning. It was bright sunshine again and we were sitting out in the cratch with a coffee in hand watching the boats go by also making the most of the lovely day. Del decided to look at the stern button as it was starting to fall to pieces. With the help from Paul on n.b. Piston Broke we managed to fit a tyre over the end of the button and hopefully save it. We then watched the Grand Prix in the afternoon and then as soon as it had finished we set off for some evening cruising. We had to get through Hillmorton locks before 6.00pm as there are restrictions due to the water shortages, and hit the bottom lock at 5.00pm. We were lucky that the locks were all in our favour, and surprised at how busy it was at the top. We pressed on till we got to what we call the prison moorings, and there were loads of spots here. We just had enough time for Al to set up the telly for her Dancing on Ice final, which we watched with dinner...
