... we will try again for the Nene in June - hopefully with Mags and Geoff.
So with that decided ...
... we took a stroll around the wildlife lake at Fradley - new bird boxes - BBC ones no less ...
... these appear to made of recycled rubber tyres ... bat boxes??
... that lovely dragonfly ...
... and The Candy Boat - not seen that one before - very colourful!
Set off this morning at 08:40 - the lilac is just blossoming at Shadehouse Lock ...
... turning at the junction - here looking down the Coventry Canal ...
... and here I'm waiting for two boats that have passed me to go through the locks ahead before I follow them. We thought we'd started early enough for the canal to be quiet but no such luck - it took us 1-hour and 10-minutes to drop down 2 locks, wind and go up them again in less than a quarter of a mile!
That's Rugeley in the distance - our destination for tonight.
OH good, we look forward to seeing you out here then - B&B at St Ives???
