May 31 Blossom and Bella on the move


We moved out relatively early and started on locks, now frequent. Elizabeth took Blossom (the bike) between locks and did all the lock winding, while Pete drove into the locks. We know. Elizabeth loves navigating into the locks and Pete loves winding them. But E is not very happy going uphill in double width locks, as Bella moves about quite a bit, with the rush of water from the lock gates. So, wuss that she is, she decided lock winding was less scary. AND she discovered it is fun and doesn’t really want to give it up! It is especially fun riding Blossom along the tow path – no hills! And the exercise :-) cycling three miles without even being aware of it.

We ended up just north of Slapton Lock. Not a lovely name, but a lovely place!
