Joan's dream house
Breakfast guests
Another warm morning but overcast. However as we came to Amington it began to rain, which it did on and off throughout the day - but never too heavily.
Aqueduct over the River Tame
Cleared Glascote Locks, but sheltered under bridge to avoid a pretty heavy outburst. K had to wear his waterproofs.
As we finished the Warwickshire Ring at Fazeley, a BWB tug came along.
Pretty uneventful. Stopped at Alrewas for provisions before heading up to Branston for the night. 
A bridge without towpath as the towpath is changing side
The pub sign said it served until 9.30, but when we arrived at 8.45 they said that they had had a busy night and were not doing any more meals. Another meal on the boat then!
Branston allegedly gives its name to the famous pickle. Perhaps someone sold it to boaters as they went by.
