Wild and windy day in Bedford

Last night we went to a Thai rstaurant, Tana Thai, about 5 minutes walk from the boat.  It was one of the best Thai meals we have ever had, recommended to anyone visiting Bedford.   You had better book - we did not and had about an hour to order and eat the meal.  This was no problem as the service was quick.

We spent the whole day in Bedford, and are planning to leave on Sunday morning.  A very god decision as it happened because the conditions have been so bad moving at all would have been difficult.  The wind has been very strong with white horses on the river and the boat has been banging against the stone bankside.

One bit of excitement:  there were a couple of young ladies in a canoe trying to make their way against the wind with little success so they tried to turn around but the canoe was blown over depositing them in the water near our boat.    We tried to help from the bank as they would not have been able to get out of the river unaided but they were obviously experienced and after some initial difficulty were able to empty the water from the canoe, turn it over, and get back in.
