Fazeley

 Well we are out for another little chug, luckily before I left home I switched Tomtom on and it suggested I went round the back of Beccles, wondering if it was a shorter/quicker route I followed it, good move, it seems the way we normally go was blocked for several hours with an accident. We were at the boat by 1pm and had lunch before leaving the marina at 3 pm. We met a few boats on the way including friends Simon and Jeanette in the top lock at Glascote. They had been stuck for 4 days at Kidderminster. The boat ahead of us decided that they would not only leave the bottom gates of the bottom lock open when they left but also one paddle half up, still worse things can happen and the sun is shining.
We carried on to Fazeley Junction where we turned hard left up the B&F and then moored at 5pm right in front of Tolsons Mill.    https://www.crosbygrangerarchitects.co.uk/tolson-mill/.
