… after 2 weeks at Great Haywood having lots of dental treatments and man flue a heavy cold (George) it was good to be on the move again. The day dawned very cold, -3 at 8am and only reached +6 all day. We needed water and fuel before leaving but as well as one boat having an engine fitted on the junction, 2 boats were already on the water points and another plus us, waiting.
So it was 12:15 before we set off properly but the amazing colours today were well worth a few pictures …
Arriving at Hoo Mill Lock …
… and looking back at this pretty lane leading over the bridge …
… and this was the first time we’d noticed this old steam engine on the other side of the lock.
We occasionally saw ice particles on the shallower bends of the canal …
… but we also saw some sunshine too!
Lots of colour at Wharf House just south of Weston were we’re currently moored for the weekend with a Tesco shop due on Sunday. We’re now hoping that the next few nights aren’t so cold that the canal freezes over completely so that we will be able to move on on Monday.
