The sun was shining again when we got up. We saw Gerry and Honor before they went off to get the bus and we said bye bye. It was so nice to see them and we had such a good evening together, really enjoyable and hopefully we will catch up again soon.

| Coming into Weston Lock |
We set off
along the canal and soon came back to Weston Lock. It was empty so I had to fill it up and then
Kev brought the boat in and I emptied the lock and down we went. A boat was coming up so we left the gates
open and we went on our way.
 |
| In Hoo Mill Lock |
We chugged
on along the canal and then came to Hoo Mill lock. There was a boat just coming out and one waiting
to come up so we were soon through there and on we went. We passed Great Marina and moored a little
past there before we got to the Great Haywood Junction.

| Footpath over Canal |
 |
| Tunnel under Railway Line |
We went for
a walk along the canal and down past the lock to see how full the moorings were
below the lock, there were only a few boat there so plenty of space, we want to
move down there tomorrow as at the weekend we are meeting John, Sharon and
Smuggler in those moorings and weather permitting we will have a BBQ.
We then
walked up over the footbridge, through a tunnel underneath the railway line and
up onto the road and up to the Spar shop to get a few things. We then walked back down the road to the Farm
Shop and Cafe.
 |
| Picking Strawberries |
We went into
the farm shop and needless to say bought a few things, it is a great shop. They also now have pick your own strawberries
so we had to go and do that!
We then
walked back to the boat, thundery storms were forecast for this afternoon, but
so far no sign of them, it is a lovely sunny evening.
We are
staying tonight then off down the lock tomorrow morning to moor down the bottom
and wait for John, Sharon and Smugs to turn up.
