On to Ladies Bridge near Honey Street

Pewsey to Ladies Bridge nr Honey Street, Kennet and Aon Canal, 2 miles 0 locks

This morning was spent still hemmed in across the canal, so a lazy morning for us.  I took Lucy for a short walk in between the sharp showers.  But just after 12 noon boat engines began to start up around me, and boats were slowly untied from each other accross the cut. 

Finally released, we wandered off westward saying our goodbuys to our fellow protesters.   If anybody would like the pics on my Pewsey Protest page, please help yourself to them, just right click and save.. don’t forget their are bigger ones if you click on the ones you like.  Derek I do not have any idea how to use flikr.. have replied to your comment!

Well done to Pewsey Wharf Boat Club for all their efforts in organising this particular blockage.

It’s lovely where we have moored this eveing, a very wide bit on the Kennet & Avon canal.. back in the 1700s a certain Lady Susannah Wroughton owned the land where this canal was to pass through, and she would only let it through if a big huge wide bit was dug and landscaped for her, plus she demanded an ornamental bridge over the canal.. known as Ladies Bridge.. She also got £500 as a present!.. Lovely area this, I will take a pic in the morning..
