Moored at Swindon - no not that one, the one in Staffordshire

At Bratch Locks - see Paul can smile I'm still learning to take selfies!

Took the picture above on Friday. Bratch lock are very unusual. Not quite a staircase of 3 as there is a very short pound between 2 of them. However this isn't big enough to take a boat and you have to work them together. Behind us is the old toll house. Friday and Saturday night we spent in the same spot. However in between we had filled up with water,worked three locks, turned, worked up the same three locks before mooring again. But we did have a good signal for Strictly, so all was good.
Didn't go far yesterday as just ahead of our mooring a tree had fallen across the Canal. Paul rang Canal & River Trust and we were surprised when they said they would send someone. Being Sunday we didn't expect to get moving the same day. Well 2 guys turned up and not only did they manage to move the tree we now have some of it for the fire.
Once all was finished we did move on a short way to Swindon. In the end we haven't moved on today. I have been writing Christmas Cards and the sun is topping up the solar panels. But mainly I think it's because Paul spotted the fish and chip shop for dinner tonight.
