Worcester to Tewkesbury

We can fit a short cruise between Judith's various medical appointments so we're heading for Strtford Upon Avon. With few locks we'll see how she manages handling the boat while I operate the locks. Weather fine we left Worcester about eight and were passing through the locks to the river at 0812 within the sound of the Cathedral bells .... except no bells, none at all! Maybe like me someone thought twelve minutes past eight must mean 2012. Why would anyone ring bells at 0812? With the Doglis locks set in our favour and the river lock gates opening as we approached Judith was soon doing the breakfast washing up and tidying the boat whilst I steered .... At least something on our boat follows the common gender pattern. Four hours cruising in glorious weather to Tewkesbury Lock and moored for lunch. £50 for a 7 day through license and £3 to moor for the night. Crispy duck followed by strawberries plan and then watching the Olympic opening ceremony planed for this evening.
