Berry, berry nice.

Thursday 12 August. 0 miles, 0 locks.
Stayed on board this morning. A bit of a walk to supermarket and into town for a couple of photos. Back on board by 1700. I think she overdid it a bit.

Friday 13 August. 5 1/2 miles, 2 locks
Diana had a better nights sleep. Realised she will only get better by taking it easy but we all know Diana can't do that. Set off on down the Avon around lunchtime. Stopped for water and picked blackberries there. The two locks were doubles and Diana was not allowed off the boat. Arrived at the first lock which was set for going down so went straight in with the intention of waiting for another boat and crew to help. One wanted to come up so I had the help needed. Same happened at the next lock. This is working well. Third lock. A boat was coming up so I went to help and they offered to help me go down. As we talked we found out that there were no moorings where we were heading so didn't go down but moored up close to Wyre lock. We are on an Island so there is nowhere for Diana to want to go and walk tonight but there are ripe cherry plums on a tree at the door. Now I spot some blackberries as well.
