Yet More Rain




It has now rained every day for the past two weeks. The wind screen wipers have had to work so hard that one of them collapsed and flew off onto the cabin roof! Ann is suffering the most because it usually chooses the time that we are just entering a lock to raise its game to an absolute deluge. Unfortunately, Ann has to look after the front rope and is in the most exposed position possible. However, she now dresses for it in her full wet weather gear. Not exactly the latest Paris fashion but certainly practical. We stayed at Poses for the night and, between showers, cycled through the village and saw the preparations for Bastille Day (14 July) celebrations, which would be taking place on the village green.
