Kilby Bridge Lock, on the move again.

Well today finally we are on the move again.  We have spent a week at Double Rail Lock as it was closed.  Once we got our bearings it wasn’t so bad.  The main drawback, was whichever way we went meant that we had to walk along a muddy towpath.  We found the shops and also a leisure centre where we went swimming a few times, mainly so we could have a shower...........

Anyway this morning, good to their word, the Canal and River Trust guys got the water back into the lock and at about 11 they were letting us through.  During the week we have had just about every kind of weather.  Obviously rain, a fair bit, plenty of wind (not just inside) and one morning the canal was frozen over.  Thankfully we have our lovely stove which keeps us nice and snug.  Then this morning we woke up and it was all white, as you will see in the picture.  This Kilby Bridge Lock the second of only two we have been through today.

But we have carried out the important task and now have a full water tank and an empty waste tank.  So that has been a relief in many ways!  Onwards tomorrow towards Debdale Wharf where hopefully they can carry out some work for us.

Well it is time now for dinner which has been simmering gently on the stove all day, yumm.
