Our mooring, quiet though it was had one disadvantage. It was under a horse chestnut tree and occasional falls of conkers during the night woke us from time to time, one hitting the mushroom like ringing a bell. There is convenient access to the railway station and Pat left at 11:00 for her day trip to Orpington. I remained to do some cleaning and then in the afternoon, take the boat to the Thames & Kennet Marina for fuel and water. This oinvolved passage of Blakes Lock, unmanned going down, and the whole exercise took two hours. Pat returned at 18:30 and we repaired to Wetherspoons for Curry Club.
