Meet the Coot family. Dot feeding them pellets kept their attention.
We said our farewells to Paul and Lynne on Nb Piston Broke as they are heading up to Fradley Junction before returning to Hillmorton to get their boat streeeetched. Rather them than me but Paul loves a challenge. So we will meet up with them again very soon.
A real old Gypsy caravan actually being lived in near Hawkesbury Junction.
With the Soccer world cup about to start we thought it might be wise to head out into the countryside for the week-end. It won’t matter if England wins or looses there will be a fair amount of drunken behaviour around any town or city, celebrating or commiserating.
This little fella isn't very old.
It appears that we are not the only one with this idea because we have passed lots of boats moored well away from civilisation all along the way.
Well fed Moorhen chicks at rest.

We might just catch you up if you don't go too fast. We're heading towards Braunston in motorway mode, before turning around to film the northern Oxford and Coventry Canals northbound. I should hate to miss you by just a few hours somewhere.
Beautiful wildlife photos - and love the gypsy caravan. Your weather looks beautiful and warm, not like we have here in NZ
Hi Jenny
We are lucky to be so close to nature to take these photos. Weather has not been good this week but is forecast to improve.
Hi Paul
We look forward to catching up, see you soon.
