Burlaston and Wedgwood

Early start with breakfast on the hoof, because the weather first thing was great in spite of the forecast. Still ended up trailing another boat through the four locks of the Meaford flight. Matt rang when we stopped for coffee, with info about the database changes. O2 and 3 signals both breaking up a bit. Moored just before Oldroad Bridge (104), and went to visit the Wedgwood works. Ended up having lunch there and paying to go round the exhibition, craft demonstrations and museum. Very interesting, if not the best. Shortly after returning to the boat around 5 the promised rain arrived, so we hunkered down. I completed the database work and watched the final ODI via Demand5. No worthwhile TV signal.

3 miles, 4 locks, 3 hours engine time.
