Negotiating the Lock

On the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, with St. Mary's Church, Kidderminster,  in the background.

My apologies for the lack of comments over the last couple of days - and indeed for the lack of Blips from me - but it's all due to a second serious bereavement in 9 months, and this one was TOTALLY unexpected (my younger brother, 5 years my junior).  Am still grieving the loss of my wife last August - and seriously so.
