A cracking little video Betty. You've just passed through my home territory, just like Mr Swan. I see him daily on my dog walks between Mercia Marina and the Dove aqueduct. He has a Mrs with 4 cygnets at the moment and patrols the whole stretch, fending off all other swans and geese. Sorry I didn't see you along the way but if you ever come back I'll say Hello. Happy cruising! ❤

[@David-th2ug]

Burton is world renowned for the quality of it's beer. It's all down to the water used. In times gone by rival breweries up and down the country would go to Burton to take water samples to see if they could reproduce it, naturally they couldn't. I'm a Londoner now living these past 40 years in Dorset and I picked up that information somewhere along the way! I'm enjoying your videos and looking forward to seeing how your boat is inside. Great respect to you, I like an independent woman.

I hope everyone else feels the same way when they watch it. 10-15 years ago a very special elderly man told me some history. The name Burton-upon-Trent means somthing like 'Fortified town by the River Trent'. The Benedictine monks had to protect the land from the River for there sheep to graze. I think the place was known it's wool, but Benedictine monks were prolific brewers of Ale or Beer or whatever it was known as at time.

Dear betty rather than walk back 4 miles to your car which is quite a distance . haven’t you thought about a fold up bike on your boat . i’ve had a Brompton fold up bike for 15 years they’re strong fast and folded up it would fit on the backseat of your car with no problems . taking a slow bike ride along the towpath at 8 miles an hour will get you back to your car in around 20 minutes it’s only a suggestion . Enjoyed the video and seeing the 🦢you look very nice and ready for Royal 🐴 Ascot in that Hat and glasses safe sailing !!

I probably will get a fold-up bike eventually but I really enjoy the walking! I’ve always enjoyed walking along towpaths.
