I was first told about this pretty canal and lock by a firefighter friend many years ago, when I was looking for somewhere to take my children. Both Jason and Mia loved coming here with me, a nice walk along the canal, looking at the "Rosie & Jim" barges, then finish up having tea and cake at the tearoom.

Sharon and I would often visit this beautiful place, being only 20mins from where we lived it was the perfect location to enjoy the peace and tranquility. This photo was taken just after one of her chemotherapy treatment sessions.
After Sharon's passing, I spent many hours sitting here and reflecting. I wrote Sharon's funeral eulogy whilst sitting in the same seat.
I also wrote sections of my book 'LOVE BEYOND LOVE' here.
I'm planning another book signing at Papermill Lock Tearoom, date to be announced soon. Keep watching my posts and events for further detail.
