This morning we woke up to the sound of wind, more wind and even more wind. Jenny was not inclined to move at all, BUT, if we stayed and it rained more and the wind still blew, would we be able to get off the rivers before it was too late?
Anyway, we spent the best part of a couple of hours drinking coffee and putting the world to rights with Jenny and Tony off of N.B. TOM TUG. About half past noon I decided it was time to leave so off we wnet, up to the lock and tried to rurn round. Whether it was the current, the wind or just me, I made a real pigs ear of it and took ages to get round!!! Then it was up the Soar, no problem, onto the Trent, no problem, and through Derwent Mouth lock and up to Shardlow to moor, no problem.
After walking up to the post office in Shardlow to pick up a paper we wandered back to the boat and on the way picked up a takeaway menu from the Tandoori Nights Indian Restaurant. Just after six we made the phone call, 25 minutes later I picked up the meal, and WE must admit, it was absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Tony for the recommendation.
