Willington

We moved on from Barton-under-Needwood just to get a little farther before we lost the light. We stopped up just an hour later at Branston, a massive new housing estate just outside of Burton. Despite parking next to the Bridge Inn, the 'pub' apparently didn't do drinks, only food. So we wandered to the local Co-op for a couple of supplies before making fajitas on the back on the boat and spending an evening reading and playing cards.

A lazy morning saw us traverse the canal through Burton, which we plan as a stop on our return. With the sun out and the sky very blue, we had a first properly warm morning on the boat. We moored at Willington to visit Bevington's tea room and have a spot of lunch (but no cake today as we still had cake left over from yesterday!).Läs mer
