Off home again.


So after a couple of nights here we set off to Sandon Lock, this is only the third lock north of Great Haywood.  
As all Boaters in the UK will know there are precious few  boats that are red, but would you Adan and Eve it, here was another directly behind us.  
The two men chatted paints, cleaners and cratch cleaners too.  





Two shiny red boats moored together.

Sandon Lock

Winding or turning just above Sandon Lock.

A lady on a boat we passed said she thought this place may have silted up but we managed it when I took the stern rope and yanked her around to speed up the process.


The last day we were joined by the lovely John and Louise lately of NB Ploddin' On.  Frequent Flyers to this blog may remember that our two boats down the Grand Union canal in May 2021.   HERE 

We all had lunch at The Saracens Head in Weston and jolly good chinwag we had too, lots to catch up on in over a year.    
I'm so silly for not taking a photo of us all. 



Hoo Mill lock, almost back at Great Haywood marina.



Packed up pretty quickly after this trip, just over an hour but there was precious little food in the fridge and unworn clothing was left on the boat.

We will be back just after Easter for The Grand Summer Cruise.
