After a nice but tiring Christmas with our family, we returned to Harold on the 29th. On the 30th we had planned to leave but storm Frank kept us in the marina. Jo visited relatives and Robin pootled about placing the weights he had brought back to level up Harold, who has been listing to starboard since the new kitchen units were put in. He is now perfectly trimmed (unlike the captain who did not get his hair cut while we were at home).
We set off proper on the 31st under a lovely blue sky, making our way to the bottom of Buckby locks in good time to avoid the pouring rain in late afternoon. It was a bit chillier today but the hazel trees already have their Catkins after the warm autumn we have had. Tomorrow we will head up the locks, heading for Braunston.
