Radio 4 this morning gave the weather forecast as rain, hail, thunder
and sunny intervals, was it worth getting out of bed? However we did and
set off at 9-15am in bright sun, by 9-30 it was tipping it down and
quite cool, however this didn't last to long and we escaped the rain for
most of the day but it did get very dull and cool quite often. 
Not so much wildlife today but church towers, the first was Wadenhoe
with a pitched roof on its tower, then Pilton amidst the Manor house and
then several spires with windows in them so you can see right through
them with finally Fotheringhay which has a octagonal tower. The water
down here is not so clear as it was yesterday so less fish have been
visible. We moored for the night at Fotheringhay at 3 pm, we have paid
the farmer £3 for the privilege but he has driven mooring stakes in
every 10 Mt. for about half a mile and was after his money in minutes of
us tieing up. Once moored we went for a walk around the village,
checking the pub out which does set price 2 and 3 course meals and
visited the church returning to the boat just as it started raining
again.
