Yet another quiet day

Moored at the pontoon at Northampton Washlands
Today we didnt go from far again, in fact we didnt move at all.  We awoke to rain and gusty winds and even when the rain stopped around midday the winds continued.  Boating in strong wind is even less comfortable than boating in the rain, so we decided to stay put until tomorrow when the good forecast weather should gives us the opportunity for a long cruise.


Ferocious pony
In the afternoon I went for a walk to the nearby lock and then onto the point at which the river rejoined the lock cut.   There was a shetland pony grazing in the field who either wanted some attention or objected to my presence.  Either way it chased after me trying to bite my bottom!  Other walkers crossing the field made a quick run for the gate - perhaps they had met the pony before.
