Yet More Rain

Cool éclusier

We know we're British and we really should know how to deal with rain - but it's cold as well! The forecast for the next week is more of the same so we've decided to do short trips and moor up at any little village that takes our fancy. We're currently in Fleurie sur Ouche and hopefully the rain will stop long enough for us to explore this (we think) picturesque village.

We were cheered today but the arrival of our 'cool' éclusier, who accompanied us for 3 locks. He insisted on wearing his wrap-around shades even though it was grey and lashing it down and his moped was equipped with a set of Harley Davidson leather panniers, complete with fringes. He disappeared over the horizon before we thought to take a picture!

The slower pace does mean the patchwork is progressing... and by the way, the pimping of the fridges did get completed.
