It was a cheery farewell from Chamouilley with Jean-Wiffnid (who we met yesterday) Iand his wife cycling down to wave us off.


The stunning colours of autumn are putting on a fine display for us.

It's not just lift bridges and locks we have to deal with - this schmozzle of half submerged steel kept us steering a very straight line!
Picture
We keep pinching ideas for when we build our next house. - curved roofs, verandas.....
Picture
Shutters, verandas and large attics catch our eye!
Picture
One side of the canal - a modern bungalow.... meanwhile....
Picture
.... on the other side of the canal -it's more industrial.

The locks here have an interesting design fault. Note that I am standing in water. Our fenders become completely ineffective as the water in the lock is as high as the wall - interesting!

These vessels are moored, but they are still very imposing.

Great tie up spot - and great for a party no doubt!
Picture
Picture
our own park - where we tied for the evening - perfectly tranquil!
Picture
This is where we are.

What a trip! I love watching our progress!
It's mostly a picture journey today folks - the internet just will not allow me to do much more - hope to see you again tomorrow!
