A picture's worth a thousand words...

...and my blog posts are rarely that long, so today you're really getting a bargain!


Painting continues - the well-deck is pretty much taken up by arty stuff.


The Castles part of the Roses and Castles are taking shape on both sides of the cabin.


The hull above the rubbing strake (which will be covered when the hull is zinc-sprayed in July) has been newly painted on the post side and prepared for final coat on the other.


On Wednesday, we headed out to Foxton Locks, mooring first under the cow-parsley before bridge 60...




 but moving up closer to the locks after we'd had a late lunch at the Foxton Lock Inn.



Frankie and Andy came to see us on Thursday, and we enjoyed a good several hours with them, mostly in the Inn!


On Friday, we winded above Top Lock, and chugged back towards our spot at Welford Junction.



The May blossom was glorious in the sunshine.



The new North Kilworth Marina now has an impressive entrance, but still has a long way to go before completion.




Yes, Welford again - services and shopping - then back to our painting place.


It's Royal Wedding day today, and the canal's been very quiet!
