Hathurn, Castle Donnington, Beaumont Leas.

Sunshine and showers Sunday so we opted for dry land cruising with friends, starting at a farm near Loughborough that serves fabulous cream scones, from where we opted for lunch at a pub previously visited next to the Trent and Mersey canal, finally  stocking up with cheap reading glasses from Wilkinson's for me on the boat, finishing up with drinks in our friends garden ( by which time the sun was permanently up and very warm ) . The day confirmed the beauty  of the Leicestershire countryside and my improved health.
