We headed off this morning at about 11am. It gave me time to finish yesterdays blog and for a bit of rain to pass. We only got as far as Thrupp as we want to look around here at our leisure so todays blog is rather short. I will put on some photos to keep you interested! (Oh and a first a video if I can manage it)
The Art and skill of Locking in

| Christine preparing to move to the lock |
 |
| Moving out |
 |
| Allowing for wind and flow |
 |
| In through the gate (not touching the sides note) |
 |
| Nearly in dead centre Didn't she do well. It's not as easy as it looks as you have to allow for wind and flow from different direction |
Unfortunately the video would not download so that is why I have had to show it in stills
 |
| Not sure where Christine got this coat but Jake The Peg ( if that is still PC) came to mind when I put it on before a brief shower |
 |
| Another Canal side poem on cast iron plates "The Heron" |
 |
| Clever or what. I'm getting good at this (what do you mean about time) |
 |
| If any of the Tenerife crowd are in touch wit Donald can you tell him I have bought a great Satellite Dish for the complex it was a steal at £150.00. It will get all the channels including MARS 1,2 AND 3 HD Only problem is Ryanair want £500,000 to ship it so the admin fees will have to go up I'm afraid. |
