Sunrise

So, how do you get past this lock?

strange day, we left at 0745 and got to the Wolvehampton Locks at 0945 but it felt like 0600. The weather was misty but warm and the locks were all for us (yipee!). We met one boat coming down and had an egg sandwich each from the mobile caff between locks 10 and 11. BW were carrying out a Towpath Clean-up (3 BW men and 1 volunteer). Got to the top two hours later in sunshine and moored by the wall again.

This birthday card was for a friend from the moorings in Gas Street. The balloons were decoupaged and fixed with sticky fixers to make them stand out. I wrapped wire (which I had removed from some wired ribbon) around the ends to make the strings. Then I printed a strip of balloons to go along the top and bottom of the card
