A
nice day after yesterday thank goodness.
By
9am there were boats moving in both directions and we had to wait at each of
the eight locks. At one lock there were six boats waiting to
come up – all heading for Alrewas as far as I could gather! As we had passed through Alrewas there was
hardly any mooring left so there were going to be quite a few unhappy boaters L

We
kept going until we reach Branston Water Park where Richard wanted to
moor. We arrived about 2pm and it was
already busy there. I really don’t
remember August being this busy before but maybe this year we are in a more
popular area.
It
was a lovely blowy afternoon and I was really glad that I had done two loads of
washing on our journey this morning – one was towels and they blew dry quite
quickly.

Richard
took Muffin for a walk round the lake of the water park and then in the evening
we both went again. I am having real
problems with my feet so we didn’t go all the way round but I did have to smile
at a sign saying that dogs could swim in a certain area but that part of the
lake was filthy and I certainly wouldn’t have wanted Muffin swimming there. (Sorry the photos are brilliant but I was
using my phone.)
