Almost Home

You can tell we are almost home - we get a decent connection on the internet for the first time for weeks!!
.
Yesterday was another day of waiting at locks, although only two or three boats at a time ahead of us. Found a mooring in Alrewas and had a little wander around the village via the butchers, just had to have one of their pork pies and some of their sausages!!
.
No queues today but we made very slow progress - I was 'caching' all the way up the flight. Moored up for the night just short of Hopwas Woods - a mile from home!! Got to make the most of it!! Winter is a long long time.
.
Out again the weekend after next for the Huddlesford Boat Gathering in aid of the LHCRT and then 2 weeks later GUELROSE gets a younger crew as my son Jon and his mates take her to Birmingham and back for a long weekend.
.
Speak to you soon
