Saturday. It was drizzle when we awoke, drizzle when we had breakfast, and most of the morning. We remained tied to the trees at Knowles wharf until early afternoon. We washed the dust and sticky droppings from the lime trees off the new paintwork on the left side and the left half of the roof. We ran the engine up for 30 minutes as we were moving down to tie up above Cromwell lock which was less than one mile. The new mooring was in the open and much lighter than our previous one, interesting though it was.

Sunday. The weather was fine and sunny at 7.30 when I made the tea. Clouds were building up as we had breakfast and remained all morning. We moved off after lunch, down three locks into Brighouse and then one more down into the basin where we tied up. The town centre is but a few yards away, inviting exploration for the morning. Tied up in front when we moored, was a boat owned by Mark that we had met at
