Line of Duty or line of sight?

Sunday morning started well with egg and bacon on toast. Then on to the water point, fill up and off we go. 

Even though it was Sunday morning, there were two C&RT men struggling away trying to get a section of tree trunk out of the water. As we left I think they calling up reinforcements. C&RT get a lot of criticism but, so far, we have been impressed with all the work we have seen being done. 

Just approaching the turn under the bridge to get on to the Oxford canal.

Safely through and now coming into the stop lock.

And out the other side.

Sadly, not all boating ventures end up that well. Don't know what happened here but it wasn't there when we came up. Let's hope no-one was hurt.

There have been many warnings about gas cylinders and petrol cans on boats. We are always careful to turn off the gas at night to be on the safe side. 

Right then, who remembers the Muppet show where the announcer says something and all the characters look up and down to see where the voice was coming from? Well, we had a similar experience ourselves. We were waiting for a boat to come through a bridge and we could hear a very loud conversation but we couldn't see anyone nearby. Until, that is, we looked up. 

Two engineers working on the overhead cables.

And this is our view for this evening at Brinklow. We have stopped reasonably early so that we can have a roast supper and watch Line of Duty, the final in the series.

Aerial aligned (line of sight OK), batteries charged - will we finally find out who is H? All will be revealed!
