Onwards from Church lock

The  church ,converted to a private residence in the 1970's, is for sale  so we looked it up on the estate agents web site. It is an amazing,3 bedroom house, available for £800,000, with double garage and extensive grounds without too many gravestones and right next to the canal overlooking the Chiltern hills. Inside it is spacious and modern. A real snip at that price but perhaps a little bleak in the winter ?

Reviewing yesterday it appears we completed 12 locks but due to the long gaps between them it was less stressful then the fewer tackled the day before, but I slept very well until woken by a nearby farm's resident cockerel this morning.
