Onwards to Ratcliffe on Soar.

  

Yet another ‘perfic’ day as we reluctantly pulled away from Loughborough. As we approached Normanton on Soar the church and white fluffy clouds were brilliantly reflected in the River. Ratcliffe on Soar Power Station was working hard when we glided silently past.

There were some nice little hide-away homes along the river bank.

  

There were also some large expensive looking ones with well kept gardens. No room for a boat on the mooring at the bottom of the garden though. We would have liked to moor in several places but they were either shallow or full of boats, never mind. We have shared many locks again and have moored up with our friendly fellow boaters overnight.
