A Lot of locks Today

Wednesday morning the sun was shining not a cloud in the sky, so we set off  with no place in mind to moor later that day.
The views on the way were absolutely gorgeous with wide open fields and lots of sheep and their lambs.





 We also passed a line of fisher man in a fishing competition, as we passed them most of the fisherman lifted there rods and we passed under them we felt a bit like royalty. Is there a collective name for a line of fisherman I wonder.      
We made our way to Norbury Junction and moored there for the night. It was such a lovely afternoon that we went and had a beer at the local very nice indeed.


Thursday again not a cloud in the sky when we woke up and we filled with water and emptied what needed emptying ! and set off again around 10.00.
Again we were greeted with some fantastic views we hope you agree




We also went under this well photographed bridge with the electric telegraph pole in it very odd indeed, we also found this old classic car parked in a wooded cutting what a strange place to have such a nice car.








Sharon also spotted a Kingfisher and we got a reasonably good photo of it.                                                                                                                                                  




we have moored up at Tyrley Wharf this evening and enjoying the sun.

  1. Hi Eddy, I am keeping up with your adventures. Word of warning, make sure there is ample supply of Wiskas or other Premium Brand food. Don't let the crew fob you off with second rate grub. Only premium grade for the skipper.
    So, Eddy how are they behaving. The one with the nice smile is OK, but watch out for the one with the moustache. He is likely to leave you when you just pop off the boat for a stroll. Any way keep up the writing I am enjoying it very much. Maybe one day you will teach the other two how to write. But I am told the one with the tash is still not allowed sharp objects like a pencil. Bye Eddy and best regards Phil

    1. Hi Phil thanks for reading my Blog, I am very happy to report that I am fed whiskers in Jelly very nice to, The other 2 have been treating me well, the one with the nice smile always cuddles me in the evening. I am very glad to report the one with the tash is allowed sharp objects but under supervision only.
      Regards Eddy
