We woke up to rain again though we knew that today was going to be pretty grotty.
Muffin
couldn’t believe his luck last night as he slept on the sofa bed with Victoria –
usually he is consigned to his bed on the floor. He didn’t even come up on our bed in the
morning!

Richard
wanted to get some new boots as both his pairs had bitten the dust so we walked
into the City. Our route took us along
Great Pulteney Street which a magnificent Georgian road with imposing five
storey terraced houses. We noticed that
some of them are even six storeys as the garden flat has a cellar which has
been utilised into their accommodation.
We got Richard’s boots – I managed to convince him to buy a decent pair
instead of getting the cheapest! They
are Goretex so I hope they last! We also
got Muffin yet another new harness as he had chewed through his last which we
had only bought in Stratford-upon-Avon!

After
lunch we decided to move on as the weather was clearing. Richard decided to fill up with water but had
to wait his turn – I think the chap before us was filling the Deep Lock he took
so long!
We
set off and then I discovered what all the fuss has been about with the
liveaboards. There are just lines of
boats all the way out of the city – I’m not sure where they end as we pulled
over at Claverton and there are still the odd one or two out here - 3¾ miles
from Bath!
