Hatton and Lapworth

On up Hatton locks in the heat, despite an early start became quite uncomfortable.  Another quiet day with not much traffic until we saw a crowd watching a plaque being unveiled at the top lock.

 Above the locks "Endeavour" stopped for water and we continued to Tom O the Wood which has reopened since we last passed this way.  It is looking good - we had a ploughmans which included ham, cheese and scotch egg.  The scotch egg was just cooked, with the meat warm and the egg yolk still just a little runny.  I've no idea how you would make that but it was very good.  Moored up with just four locks to do (and quite a few miles) to get to central Birmingham for tomorrow night.
