After a lovely meal at The Bridge at Branston Water Park last night we returned to the Marina today. It was a very easy run of about 3 hours passing an unusual black swan on the way.

We spent the afternoon cleaning the outside of the boat including the roof as can be seen from this silhouette of Graham.

Although the sky looks sunny the clouds rolled in and we have just had a very large rain storm. We will finish sorting out the inside tomorrow and head home.

A few statistics for those interested. 

Nights on the boat 41

Approximate Mileage 277

Hours of travel 161

Number of locks 224

And finally... We have had a wonderful time visiting some very interesting places and spending time with friends and family along the way. The weather has generally been excellent with only 2 very heavy downpours. We are thinking that we may have to squeeze in another short trip maybe in October as we enjoy it so much!

Not sure why my feet don't look browner as I have been in the sun just as much as Graham!
