We awoke this morning to the sound of boats departing from the basin. Brenda went off to do some more re-provisioning in Stratford whilst I did an oil and filter change on Jannock. When she returned we invited our neighbours in for coffee before deciding to head north again to Wilmcote. We set off up the first three locks with me cycling ahead to set the next whilst Brenda brought Jannock up the current lock. As we left the second lock I found that a South African hire boater had closed the paddle and turned the next lock against us, not very friendly as it was almost empty when I had opened the paddle. I explained to him about the importance of checking that no one was approaching before turning a lock and got an appology from him. On arrival at Wilmcote we walked down past Mary Arden's house and used Mary Arden's village shop as well as testing Mary Arden's pub and decided to return to the latter for an evening meal. No fruit today as we are still inundated with the last three days worth. www.jannock.org.uk -------------------------- Graham
