I could picture you retiring to live in one of these lock huts someday; it really would be lovely to meet so many new people everyday!
The trip looks lovely, it's so cool to see you on the move! 😍 Simon sounds like excellent company for a slow living day, it was nice to read about some of your exchange with him. 🤗
Hmmm, we never thought about living in one of the Lock houses ourselves, because we are so in love with being on a boat. However, now that you mention it, I'm picturing hubby sitting close to the canal to chat with every boater who passes, and not do anything else all day 😂 I shall not entertain that idea at all. 🤣
Yeah, Simon was a cool guy. He kept forgetting his routine for opening the locks, and he explained that he's just a relaxed guy who loves being in nature (and he mentioned that he had a hangover).
Simon was happy that we were understanding and he gave us 2 beers when he had enough for the day, but we carried on for another 2 hours though:)
