Stockton Locks, on the way to Warwick. A lovely set of locks, and great fun.

Of course, when we are on the move, there is not a lot of opportunity to let Finlay off , and have a real good run off the lead, and here he tells us exactly how he feels. 'Twas a lovely mooring for us , though. Aren't we selfish ?

Anyway, we arrived at the Saltisford Arm, and have moored up here for a few days, so that we can explore Warwick. A nice place and nice folks, here. Had a good meal and beer at the Cape of Good Hope pub.

Tuesday is pump out day and Hatton Flight Day. by the time we have got to the top, we will be stopping again. I think there are 20 some odd locks in this flight. but who's counting.

The daft dog in the canal, was a Springer Spaniel. He evaded his owner down in the nature reserve, ran up on to the towpath, ran about half a mile, jumped in after a duck, went passed us at a fair rate, barking at the mallard, got out at the lock, jumped in again and was off up the canal. Taking no notice of anyone or the owner. I am still wondering what happend to it. Reckon it needs a bit of training.

ok. Who likes the tv programme MERLIN ???? well, it was all cracking off at Warwick castle. all sorts of magic and wizardry going on, I can tell you. There were a few hunks dressed up as knights, as well. although not this bloke on the horse, I was only taking a pic of Neddy. this knight looks bit grumpy?
