Where did Monday go?

What did we do on Monday? I've lost a day!

I know, we set off through Hillmorton locks.

Here's the captain waiting for the lock to empty. There are only 3 locks and we had C&RT volunteers helping out with 2 of them.

Some of the lock gates have poetry carved on them. There's a board somewhere with the whole poem written out. Makes a bit more sense then.

Past Badsey's Wharf where the café is.

And opposite is a book exchange. We get quite a few books this way.

Now approaching the outskirts of Rugby and a few years ago this part of the canal was open countryside. Now look at it.

Stopped in Rugby for a mega supermarket shopping bash to stock up with supplies.

Motored on toward Brinklow and stopped for a roast chicken supper. Should have had the roast on Sunday but we had a meal out instead. Also, we only bought the chicken this morning!
