Fazeley Junction

It rained for most of the from home to the boat, only picking up at lunchtime, but we arrived at the boat in bright sunshine, thankfully it has continued into the evening.
We were away about quarter past four after I had done a few jobs. A couple of locals were waiting to see us off on or latest trip standing on the end of the jetty.

At the mouth of the marina the swans have again nested but I don’t hold out a lot of hope considering the fox activity that we have witnessed

We came out of the marina and turned left, I dropped Diana off at bridge 64 so she could visit Tesco Express, she said she would meet me at bridge 67, but someone has built a house on the approach, so she had to walk to the next one to re-join the towpath. As we turned Glascote top lock a boat was turning the bottom to come up, so we passed between the locks. A Fazeley Junction we stopped for water before continuing on a couple of boat lengths to moor for the night.
Diner was a Chinese take away from Peninsular Cantonese Restaurant, one of our favourites.
