The Soarr and the Grand Union somehow merge somewhere in Leicester. We paired up with another couple and their boat" Dormouse "for tackling the double locks, which makes progress easier and faster. Leicester presents a mixture of historic warehouses and factories,mixed with new flats and student accommodation, but overall everything from the canal appears tatty and neglected. Even the Space Centre , normally pristine, is currently covered in plastic sheeting, which kind of says it all.
Keith and Jennifer,from Dormouse, joined us for drinks this evening and a pleasant time was had by all. The weather has almost been summerish today, warm and sunny.
Derek confirmed he is in conversation with LOROS, a wonderful hospice near Leicester, for Sue to get the care and attention she needs and deserves for her last days, so our visit last weekend was well worthwhile. Bless her.
