Photo 15 – Lock 15

For about 3 years I have been a follower of the blog “Retirement with No Problem”
noproblem.org.uk/blog/ The internet diary of a couple Vic and Sue, who retired from the family business to live on a traveling narrow boat “No Problem”, they move each day along the canals of England. Sue originally began the blog so that the family back home in Portsmouth would be able to follow them and now its well read by other boaters because it keeps up to date with anything from the location for the best fuel prices, signs of damage to the canal or near by facilities and a detailed review of the visited pubs food and drink.

Reading the blog I found that they are travelling through the Birmingham area over the weekend, I wanted to find them and introduce myself but I knew it would be almost impossible because they move so quick and they could be anywhere on the city canal system, in fact I tried to find them last year without success. Last week Sue blogged that they are going through the 21 locks at Wolverhampton and I then knew I could find them along that stretch because it takes a few hours to navigate through a small area.

...she said. In fact, it looks like Sunny's in the midst of taking off. "Pegasus, here I come!" (I might need to alert Santa about this!)

I know this is kind of gross, but I find it interesting at the same time. This dog was hit by a train. This photo is about 3 days after the fact. I thought it was interesting how quickly it decomposed. It is hard to see in the photo, but there was all sorts of life buzzing around the carcass. The stench was pretty bad too.
