A wet dog
Tuesday 26th August
Woken at 8 am by a splash in the water and the sound of paddling about. Sappho had jumped off the boat the wrong way and was doggy paddling up the canal. Dragged her out and towelled her down. After popping to the Co-op again we set off towards Burton upon Trent. Under the bridge by the first narrow lock there was an attractive frieze.

Moorhens at Burton Lock
We could smell the hops from the Breweries.
We had to queue at quite a few locks, so at Alrewas J nipped off to the shop to buy more provisions! We shared the locks with various boats, including "Whatsmoor."

Wychnor Church
Slow progress so we passed by the showers at Fradley and continued up the Coventry Canal. Finally we stopped at the Plough at Huddlesford, where we ate a meal. The couple from Whatsmoor arrived a bit later and wanted to go up Tamworth locks with us, but we knew we were setting off early tomorrow.
