You wait ages for one...

I walk along the Tame Valley Canal near to where i work most weekday lunchtimes, usually its not the busiest of canals and i've gone for months without seeing a canal boat but this week i have seen a boat every lunchtime this week so far. Infact today i saw 2 boats, though one was being towed by the other. Getting through the lock with a towed boat was quite interesting and looked fairly long-winded. Yesterday i helped some people with the lock (well i opened one of the gates for them) which was fun. I would like to go on a canal holiday one day...
