Devizes again

Jenny has real technological problems hence very intermittent communication! Or you can just put it down to age!
Not sure where we were last time but now back in Devizes having ascended the 29 lock Caen Hill flight today in the company of a hire boat crewed by a lovely family. Although hot and long the climb through the locks was a pleasant experience and with three young  and eager 20somethings ( 2 girls and a fine young chap) it was made enjoyable and fairly easy. It took just over 5 hours which we were delighted with.
Sid was glad to get back to Devizes so that he could revisit the brewery in order to stock up on beer!
Since Bristol we have had brief stops in Bath and Bradford-on-Avon and Jenny has had a Mrs Moaner day having followed some annoying youngsters on a hire boat who left every lock without closing the top gates and leaving swing bridges open. Poor Sid.
We have also noticed even more dirty dog owners not clearing up after their dogs. It makes mooring and walking between locks quite unpleasant! Some of the pavements in towns  also seem more fouled now. Moan over!
