We are going up two locks today and mooring above the second
one, Blockhouse Lock, it is less a mile so a hard morning for us!!

| In Sidbury Lock |
We have to go back to Weston-Super-Mare tomorrow as I have
my annual check at the hospital and we are leaving the boat overnight in
Worcester Marina which is a few bridges up from Blockhouse Lock so if we move
up there today we can then go straight in the marina tomorrow morning and have
plenty of time to get our train.

| Words on railing by Commandery |
It was a glorious sunny warm day. We pulled back to the water point first and
filled up, then we set off to the first lock, Sidbury Lock which is a deep
lock. By Sidbury Lock is The Commandery
Civil War Centre and on the top of the railings there are some words which are
hard to read, but when the sun is out they cast a shadow on the path and hey
presto you can read what it says, clever!

The lock was full, so I emptied it and then Kev brought the
boat in and soon we were going out the lock and onto Blockhouse lock. This one was almost empty so didn’t take long
to go through and we moored a little way from the lock in a nice sunny spot.
Kev did some sanding down of the boat and painting as it was
such a lovely day and I gave the inside of the boat a clean then had a wander
around the shops.
We will stay here tonight then off into the marina in the
morning and back to Weston-Super-Mare we go.
