Middlewich To Paddys Wood. 8 Locks.

Who shrank the locks?

Leaving Middlewich and the rows of moored boats,

we were soon amongst lots of little locks.

A quick discussion about the last time we worked through one of these narrow locks took us right back to Foxton locks way back in April.

Where does the time go?

 

The Trent and Mersey along here runs very close to a main road, It seems quite surreal operating lock gear whilst lorries and cars rush by no more than fifteen feet away from the boat.

  

As usual though, it was not too long before we were back out into the peace and quiet of the countryside.

 

So many berries everywhere, Black, Red, and Elder all growing well, there are even lots of Sloes emerging, Autumn is fast approaching.

Here is a depressing but true thought, In about five weeks when the kids go back to school there will be the dreaded Christmas Trees in the shops.

Who's a cheerful little bunny then?

Until next time.................................
