After a slow start we drove into Rugby for a top-up shop in Tesco
We had planned that Mike would come back in the afternoon to charge the car whilst Christine finished packing and cleaning. We completed our shopping a little quicker than expected - not quite noon - so we opted to go to GridServe (the one that eventually worked for Mike earlier in the week) All went well on this occasion but the earlier experience did help as the GridServe system does not seem quite as tolerant of odd user behaviour (like leaving the car door open when going to the terminal to close the charging before it reaches 100%!)
After lunch we finished preparing for tomorrow's return to home but Christine 'forced' Mike out to go and read his book sitting at some of the chairs around the site, whilst she mopped the floor!
Later, Christine walked around the marina to discover what was happening in a couple of container cabins at the far end. It seems that one is a small coffee shop whilst the other - according to the person running it - is being developed as a small scale community hub. Christine was able to tell him about Waterways Chaplains and promised that Mike would bring some leaflets next time we visit.
