We had a short journey of just six locks planned for today, which was just as well. By the fourth lock it started to drizzle, and by the sixth lock is was raining quite hard. We holed up for the rest of the day. Paula baked banana bread and scalloped potatoes to keep the boat warm, and we both worked on our French. Duo the Duolingo owl is very happy with us today.

We are now at the bottom of the Tardebigge locks.

This is the longest flight of locks in the country. 30 locks in two and a quarter miles. That’s the plan for tomorrow. Wish us luck.
