As we were making our to Sawley lock on the Trent today these little cuties came puffing towards us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And these hadn't set off

That would enplane why someone met one heading up the Erewash

The Erewash, dirty shallow long puddle

Off topic..,slightly...the Wind in the Willows hint reminded me of this: the Barge Lady.

that is so lovely

yesterday one of the other moorers shouted ... 'quick tree look in the lock' as i was cycling past... well being a nosy trout i cycled over to the lock for a gander and loo and behold inside the lock was a steam launch just like the one in the first of tiller's piccies

after observing me going 'ohhhh... ahhhhhh... the chap steering said 'you like the boat then' and then bless him he tooted it and flippin nora it didnt half make me jump lol.. but it was wonderful and i got a piccy on my phone, but not as good as tiller's.

thanks for sharing and oddles of huggles to you both as well xxx

I believe this is the annual trentlock rally, a two day weekend rally based from the trent valley sailing club, which we have attended with EmilyAnne in the past. Good day out!
