Fireman at Swarkstone Lock

 The journey to Sawley was pretty uneventful. Took me a while to get used to double locks again. Makes you realise just how easy single lock gates are. Luckily we met another boat called There's no place like Gnome ( had gnomes painted over the whole boat as well as gnomes on the roof )and it made working the locks much easier. The fire engine arrived while we were in the lock. I expect they're going to practice filling and then emptying their water tanks.
