The London Ring - Preparations

This time I remembered to turn the heating on before leaving home, yet when we reached the boat at around midday, an hour and a half later, the temperature in the boat was still only 60 degrees.  Got the stove going on wood to start with - it burns up quicker - and did a few chores, like filling with water.  Pat then stayed in for the afternoon and Mike went to Watford.  By early evening the promised rain had arrived.  Some of the local roads were becoming flooded, probably leaves on the road!  Made ready for an early departure in the morning.
