Great Haywood

Shortly after the end of my last blog post of Rugeley, I came across a very familiar boat to me, called “The Rum Wench”. This boat belongs to one of my favourite YouTube vloggers Heidi from her channel The Narrowboat Pirate. The stupid thing is, I was so gob-smacked at finding it, that I failed to snap a photo. The vloggers normaly release their vlogs after a week or so due to the time it takes to edit and upload the video. Buit I think it gives them some privacy from viewers knowing where their boat is and them being inundated. Something I wouldn’t like either. Anyway, she might catch the link above to her channel, I don’t know. I did comment on her vlog that I knew which direction she took but her secret was safe with me, as it should always be.

Anyway, lets crack on and this time, rather than rambling on, I thought I would mostly just show a montage of photos with captions. I will comment as and when it is required, or I want to. Please let me know your thoughts on this in the comments below.

I wouldn’t like to mow this lawn, even with a ride on mower. And bugger going back to the house to get another drink. Maybe the butler Jeeves could do that.
I think this was a couple of properties along, and my word, this is a really nice, brand new private wharf. Some people have all the money.
This section of canal had a large amount of big houses and most had moorings on to the canal.
Some people do like to have unusually decorated boats like this one from the Jungle Book. It certainly brightens your day and makes you smile.
This was Colwich lock, and I’d left the gate open as another boat was waiting to go down.

I had already moored just before the Great Haywood lock but it seems I neglected to take any photos of it. I need to get my act together. Anyway, as it was a nice day, I decided to go for a little walk and these are some of the photos I took along the way. I didn’t go very far but I had to have a bit of a rest after this as I was exhausted.

Here’s one for my niece Becky

Well, that’s all for this time. Great Haywood is a really lovely place. See you in the next blog, very soon.
