By now it was time for lunch, but there were few places to moor. While I drove, Clare prepared salads, so when we arrived at the next lock, instead of working it, we tied up to the bollards and ate. We were nearly finished when a cruiser appeared behind us. I got up to look willing, only to realise that the previously empty lock was now full – someone had arrived at the other end! So I finished my lunch before going to join in.
