Away at our normal 10 am, most of the other boats had gone and made our way towards Hawkesbury Junction passing this field of cows on route, not much grass there for them to eat.
We stopped for water just before Sutton Stop and noticed there was a Volockie on duty, most unusual. tank full we set off and headed north up the Coventry canal. Notices like this seem to be getting more popular on the system.
Of course you can’t pass this old post without taking a photo.
Just beyond Springwood Haven is this poor sight, there is a notice in the window with a phone number saying it will be raised and removed in late June, its now August.
We carried on for a bit and stopped a short way before the Anchor Pub.
Since we have been moored up I have fitted a new pater pump, not quite as straightforward as I hoped as they now have screw connectors on the pipes so the filter wouldn’t as there wasn’t room, then when I had got it all in the filter leaked. A load of sealant and its stopped, but the top will never come off again, so new one next trip.

I truly enjoyed your post. My husband and I were seriously thinking about coming to the UK and renting a narrow boat for a week after his retirement. Problem was 4 months after his retirement he was diagnosed with cancer and didn't live long enough to fulfill that dream. I am still very enchanted with narrow boats and love reading about them and seeing some of the folks that post on YouTube. Enjoy your journeys dear friends life is short.
