We Left London

We made good progress and the weather held today. There was not much direct sunshine but it has been warm all day. We joined forces with Paul and Sharon on the Jennie B for most of today's locks. We passed under the M25 in the afternoon, and I consider that to be the edge of London.

Near the end of the day I saw Banstead, one of the two boats featured in the The Bargee in 1964, the year I was born.











Arrow is tired as he spent most of today off the boat running around the locks.

I finally reinstalled Enuff on the laptop today as I have had enough of the children bickering over whose turn it is and complaining that the other has had longer on it. We have Enuff installed on the computers at home as well. It saves so much parental effort as it automatically regulates the hours the computer can be used by each user.

The water pump filter cover cracked again today. After we had mopped up the water I fitted the last spare filter housing. Still no idea why these are failing. Each one seems to fail after about a week in use. When we get back to Blisworth the water pump is to be replaced with a different make.

Total distance is 10 miles, ½ flg and 18 locks.

Moored at Apsley Top Lock.
