We had a very pleasant, productive and lazy day today.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s a bit of a shame that the brightness of the day always wakes us so early and we were sitting having a cup of tea at 7:30.\u00a0 <\/span>We took our time with a few domestic chores; cleaning, Dysoning (nice to have plug in power), laundry, etc.\u00a0 <\/span>Then we looked ahead to see how we could manage to be at Tardebigge on a weekend to get some help from experienced younger members of the boating fraternity.<\/p>\n

David and his son Harry arrived about 12.00 to top up the diesel and do a pumpout.\u00a0 <\/span>We were slightly disappointed that this did not involve the Dennis fire engine which we had spotted yesterday but this turned out to be one of David’s hobbies.<\/p>\n

The fuel came on a small trolley-mounted tank with an electric pump so the unit could be pulled along the pontoons to wherever the diesel inlet was on the boat.\u00a0 <\/span>The pumpout unit was specifically built for the job and was towed by a Landrover.\u00a0 <\/span>It seemed to have a really powerful suction but gave us a bit of a scare when it suddenly stopped.\u00a0 <\/span>It turned out that the spark plug lead had come loose and, once fixed, the job was completed without further cause for concern.<\/p>\n

After a quick snack lunch we walked into Wootton Wawen where we visited the local farm shop with all its associated craft shops.\u00a0 <\/span>We then strolled along to the Saxon Sanctuary, Warwickshire\u2019s oldest church, originally built by Benedictine monks in the 700s.<\/p>\n
