We made it to Hawkesbury Junction

We got to Hawkesbury yesterday late afternoon, as we hoped. Poor Pete did much driving in biting cold, but he seemed happy, no matter how much Elizabeth tried to relieve him of the Tiller. "I LIKE driving" was the firm reply :-) So Elizabeth stayed warm, blogged in fat band (duly noted on the Coventry canal map with Pete shouting bridge numbers below) and managed to make the fire sing. Now we are happily moored at the junction of the Coventry and Oxford canals having had a lovely domestic day (cleaning, putting up a shelf, fixing the end of the TV aerial, making scones and choccy biscuits, cutting towpath greens to revive the flowers, etc). We await a visit from friends for dinner. We are not sure how long we'll stay here, now that the rush is over. Watch this space!

In the meantime, these pics are from Friday - morning near Tamworth, evening in the middle of 'nowhere'.
