A shorter post today, as it's been nearly four days since this adventure.
After our mini road trip across the English countryside, my friend and I had a day of rest before wandering off to Paper Mill Lock. The walk itself took a good two and a half hours, through fields and along rivers. The highlights of my walk include feeding some horses and the foals, learning how a lock works to lower or raise boats and devouring product from some of the farms. The two main fields around were rapeseed, used to make canola oil, and wheat, which in its unprocessed form is a bit boring. By unprocessed, I mean not-in-cake form.
Along the way, we saw a number of narrow boats. Boats designed to travel along the canals of England. Some of which are long enough to live in comfortably. Perhaps I'll do that one day... but only after I get myself a yacht to sail around the Mediterranean.
Perhaps I'll learn to navigate by the stars. I hope you'll help me, Betelgeuse.
