Monday - Day 28

Romajech left Pillings Lock Marina in sunshine and with no regrets. Said a fond farewell to Blue Adeline - it doesn't seem like four weeks since we set off on our Intrepid Adventures.

Nosed out on to what looked like an empty canal and promptly had two boats appear at speed from the left. Held back until all was clear and ewe were off to Loughborough to meet up with family. Romajech pottered gently through the Leicester Navigation and on to the Grand Union at Loughborough - a mix of rural and industrial landscape but no locks! Just as well with Mike's back problems. 

Moored opposite my brother and sister-in-law's house on the canal and waved to them as they were in their garden. Felt like royalty again! Spent a happy family day, ending with wine and coffee back on Romajech. Watched two swans and their three cygnets floating along the canal in the moonlight.
