We
awoke to a beautiful morning. There had been a hard frost so everything was
frozen, but there were clear skies with a low ground mist. Very atmospheric.
Putting
up the last of the Christmas lights yesterday, we discovered we did not have
the correct sized batteries. So we caught an early bus into Hinckley and, after
buying batteries and a few very last minute things, we were back at the boat by
11:30.
Brenda
made sausage rolls as she has every Christmas, while I did some housework. We
then had showers and retired to the Dog and Hedgehog in the neighbouring village
of Dadlington. The views from the back room of this pub are amazing, looking
out over probably 20 miles of Leicestershire countryside. We fell in with a lovely
couple who had also, in the past, been dub owners, a great connector.
We
returned to the boat and let Christmas begin.
