One of the realities of having friends aboard, is that at the end of their stay they have buses to catch and connections to make and the sorts of places we travel through don’t always have ready access to those connections.
Therefore, while we wax lyrical about our lack of plan, our freedom to go and do as we please, we are never able to share this aspect of our cruising life. Had we been able to do so, we may never have recovered from our lunch time stop. We may well still be in Tronville-en-Barrois for instance, waiting for our mood to change to “move” again.
Moving of course is not a terrible impost, and we are heading uphill at a rapid rate once again with locks every few hundred metres. One of the things we can rely on is that with each lock will come a a different experience, sometimes a complete surprise awaits as we emerge from their depths.
The decoration on each lock-keeper’s cottage for instance varies from “abandoned” to “shabby chic” to “ wildly eclectic”, although occasionally we find one that we’d describe as “imaginative”.
Occasionally we find ideas we could possibly incorporate into our own garden.
Even this very afternoon we were given a couple of pointers.
