Yesterday we came up 14 locks and as it was cooler, it made things easier.   Walking between the two locks at Rode Heath, Helen spotted a 'Painted Lady' butterfly which kindly posed for her.  Painted lady butterflies migrate from North Africa or mainland Europe in spring and summer.  They cannot survive the British winter.

We moored at Rode Heath for the day and whilst exploring the village (which has a pub and convenience store) somebody (Alicia?) placed a painted rock on the stern which was a nice welcome to the village.
