The trains didn't keep us awake as we slept blissfully unaware that most of
England's railways all pass over what seems to be the busiest bridge in the
world. 07:45 was showing on the clock as I fished and listened to Nick Ferrari.
The wind had abated somewhat but the piscatorial action was disappointing.
10:05 saw me tip maggots, cheese and sweetcorn [the latter labelled 'best
before August 2002'] into the water and we made the final move for home in
bright, occasionally cloudy but mostly sunny, weather. Nothing was moving,
apart from the obligatory hire-boat that attempted to move off from Tesco,
right under my bows! We soon left him behind and by noon were enjoying
breakfast at The Toll House Tea Rooms whilst the water tank was filling. A
traffic jam at the waterpoint due to several boats waiting for water + a gravel
barge coming through, was soon sorted out and in no time I was ringing Jane
Hendley's bell at Black Jack's Cottage in order to purchase some eggs. Just
about 16:00 saw us back at base where we pumped out the loo and put Caie Two
to bed for a well-earned rest.
