Hail to the Hive!
It seems like forever since we had actually travelled anywhere as we have been staying in the vicinity’s of the city for quite a while but today we made our way back out again.
It’s a well traveled route for us now and as it was such a beautiful day and we weren’t exactly in any rush, but were required to move. The canal rules state we can only stay in one place for a short while as we are not allowed to be in any one spot longer than 2 weeks so we decided to just chug 3 locks up and moor just below Kings lock. So it was only about a 3 mile run but does put us in a completely new area.
3 locks and 3 miles usually takes a couple of hours ( speedy eh?! )
The first lock is bang opposite the Leicester King Power Stadium , home to the Mighty Foxes, Leicester City Football Club. Managed to see a few games in the last month or so with my son 
The swan families are out for a swim. The kids are getting bigger and mom and dad are not happy about me passing by, very protective. Well swans all round have a pretty shitty attitude. Begging food, tapping on the windows and hissing at you if you don’t feed em. Nice to look at but I’m not a big fan. They’re avian arseholes.
All be it beautiful avian arseholes.
The 2nd of the three locks today is Marys Mill Lock and as I wait for 
There’s so many possibilities for this old building maybe when hive hits $20 I’ll buy it and do something really imaginative with it 😄.
It’s scorching hot and I love it so I won’t complain but I did decide to hang out in the shade of the bridge at the 3rd lock of the day , Aylestone Mill Lock, as I again waited for
After this lock we had a short chug along the canal to the moorings just before Kings Lock and there were already a few boats nestled in tied up along the bank.
With the afternoon summer sun and a lovely little spot to call home for a few days I decided there was only one thing missing….

Well it would be rude not to 😉
