No SBs in sight

Yesterday evening we took a short walk round Newbury.

Newbury Lock has ground paddles similar to those on the Leeds & Liverpool although the lock keeper didn't use them when we came through.

This little bridge is on the way to one of the canal side pubs.

Nearly missed this little alleyway as we were striding along.

Didn't miss this! Would have loved to wait till opening time just to get a haircut in that chair.

Now this is a welcome sight, all the makings for a good cup of tea.

Thought you might like to see the bedroom with our 4 poster bed. In reality only 1 post but, who's counting?

Look at that, a clear blue sky.

And some fantastic views.

We were lucky to pass the horse-drawn boat operated by the Kennet Horse Boat Co.

The boat was full of passengers enjoying a peaceful day out in the sun.

Tonight we are stopping at Kintbury - the above is the old mill.

And look what we found. A Roundhead Bitter from the Two Cocks Brewery - and yes, that is a real feather on the label.

And for the captain, Dab Hand cider. Should be a good afternoon.

And as for the title? Correct, no swing bridges all day. Phew!
