Stayed in Leamington spa today  and went for a walk round town visited the pump room museum which told the history of the spa waters and the development of the town and also contained in this building is an art gallery mainly modern art ok if you like it , the pump room is set set in beautiful gardens and over the road are the Jephson gardens in which are lakes , fountains , trees  landscaped lawns and a large conservatory and many sculptures most of them made from recycled trees well worth a visit .

All of this is well used by the local population especially on a  sunny day like today.

Second in command is a little stiff today after yesterdays exertions so we walked a couple of miles this afternoon to get her into shape for the Hatton flight of locks probably tomorrow that's around 25 ish locks to do 

If anyone sees these pictures from Kirkby who has a laptop wih a descent size screen could they show them to Gran Cook to explain what a floating bungalow fifty seven feet long and seven feet wide is like inside .

This is the view leaving a wide lock we only need one gate open to enter or exit
