![Misaligned lock gates. The top gates of a lock where one of them in misaligned so the gates do not meet properly. In the gap between the gates a swan is visible. Another swan is peering over the gate.](https://bartimaeus.blether.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/DSC07960-300x225.jpg)
A day spent resolving unexpected problems.
A day spent resolving unexpected problems.
We contemplate muddy water
We take a diversion from the main line but don’t escape the rat race.
The Angel is busy: we meet with a heavenly host of friends, relatives and an elf.
We host a number of guests for day trips in London.
From coast to canal we are in close contact with lifeboats
We come back to the boat and need to work out where to go next.
A change of water; seaspray and pastels to enliven the senses.
Sunny Stort in unseasonally warm Autumn.
Things are a little awkward at a long planned rendezvous.
