This was taken earlier this year on our visit to Colonial times when we visited Williamsburg and our journey into America’s past. You see first hand what it was like to live in the capital of Virginia during the American Revolution. Hundreds of buildings have been restored to their original state. There are over 40 exhibits ranging from colonial homes, government buildings, trade shops, gift shops and museums. Horse drawn carriages take you down the cobblestone streets for a guided tour. It is a step back in time where the community dresses and speaks as if were colonial days in America. While walking around the town I saw this old lock on a rusted fence. I couldn’t resist getting a shot of it.

Last lock on the canal section of the Kennet & Avon..once through the lock you are on the River Avon..turn right and into Bath and Pultney weir..which is amazing from the bank but even more amazing if you go right up to it in the boat!..
turn left and a days journey down the River to Bristol floating Harbour..a great place to moor and explore the wonderful city of Brizzle...
Sadly did not make it to Bristol this year by boat as ran out of time due to various engine problems & breakdowns and have to be in Liverpool in July so are now just off up the Thames..
The lock house at Groundhog's Lock on the Delaware Canal in Raubsville, Northampton County Pennsylvania.

She's been getting used to her extreme heels but still can't manage a whole day walking around in them without needing to slip them off for a break every now and again.
She asks her husband to lock them on for the day whilst he goes to work and give her a list of chores that will keep her on her feet. As you can imagine her husband is only too happy to help out.
The arch of these shoes keeps her right on her toes and a slither of the ball of her foot.
