Next in line for the lock
Following nb Bendigedig
The week started so well with sunshine, and ending in rain, what's new?. We turned on to the Coventry canal this week, the weather seemed to have brought out a lot of boaters, as we found ourselves queueing at quite a few of the locks. We have seen a few sights this week, the woman standing in the bow of her shiny boat with a pair of hedge clippers cutting anything green that came within 2 feet of her. The hire boat that waited until Eric was nearly alongside and then pulled out in front of him, causing us both to back peddle in a hurry, and to rub salt in the wound he then cruised along in the middle of the cut so slowly we had to keep taking our props out of gear. In the end we gave up and moored for the night.
The girls had a little exercise Thurs & Fri 11 locks and a shop at the Coop just to keep their skills up to date. Elsie put Bendigedig into a couple of the locks, well done Elsie, I'm still working on Eiddwen, but it will happen. This weekend we are moored near Hartshill.
