the scalloped lock at Aldermaston Wharf
Friday, 17th August 2007 - 10.05bst, Bath Library, computer 16
Hello kind reader,
W8Aug07-09.50bst,Newbury library,cmpr26
I took the train from Paddington to Reading, and walked to the M4 along the Kennet navigation. The Kennet navigation was built in 1718, by John Hore, to let the Thames barges carry goods to Newbury. There were three wharves, Reading, Newbury and Aldermaston. At Aldermaston is I believe, the only scalloped lock in the whole of Britain (see attached photo)

I walked today, from a little west of Pewsey, along the canal. There was a clear dark night, the new moon being on Saturday. I don't think I have seen the Hyades round Aldebaran, Taurus the bull, so clearly before. Some dark clouds in the west blew in around dawn, and it is now overcast. I took the chance to call in on the church at Bishops Cannings. The first vicar is dated 1290, so I think it must be Early English/Classic Gothic style. It looks good, a grey parish church with west tower and steeple.

Near Thatcham, I was in a bit of woodland, when a wren came checking what was going on. He made a whirring noise, unlike the usual loud song, which I think was a warning song. He hopped to and fro round me, within a few yards, for about five minutes before he left. I think he may have had a nest nearby, though I could not see one.
The fourth quarter moon was bright enough to throw shadows, last Monday 6th. Is this because it is nearest to the earth in August? The last day I saw the moon was the Friday before the Saturday new moon, after dawn.
I heard a screeching which I thought was some noisy rabbits. Then a screeching owl flew right ahead of me, for about two seconds, before carrying on into a nearby wood. Is this perhaps a barn owl - it did not sound like a tawny owl - towit-towoo.

Bath is the most beautiful city in Britain(?) and a World Heritage Site. The Abbey is great, built from Bath stone. Bath stone is limestone that can be cut in any direction and is loved by sculptors, it seems. Bath stone is everywhere. The Roman baths are beside the abbey, and look as though they date to Beau Nash's time - 1730?, from the outside. I got lost in the maze of streets around the centre, this morning, but it is only second day!
Best wishes to all, Robert
