Rugeley

 

Left Great Haywood, before the weather gets worse to get to Rugeley for supplies and to sit out the predicted bad weather on Friday, looks like being a typical bank holiday weekend, very busy with boats all over the place, squeezed it and then moved to a better mooring as most treat the moorings as a shopping stop with the handy Morrison’s, Wilkinson's and Aldi close by the canal

We have now had all sorts of weather from hail stones to sunshine and loads of boats passing by, hopefully the night will be quiet as it can be a bit lively around here at times

Another one gone

 

Oh well that’s another birthday over, only one to go until the next big one

A quote from the bright side, which it is always better to look on

Set off for Great Haywood today as the weather is forecasted to get worse, a bit of a slog as it goes round the hills rather than up them or down them, very cold and windy all the time we were moving, then as soon as we stop the sun comes out

Did manage to pick up a few plants for the pots, from the farm shop, hopefully the summer will come one day

Still at Penkridge

 

After a quiet Sunday, we have spent the day tidying, awaiting a viewing tomorrow and of course my birthday, nearly another milestone

Penkridge

 

After a cold dreary day, which meant we stopped early, not making it to Gailey, so an early start this morning and after stopping off for water at the top lock we pushed on down the locks to Penkridge, made in time for a trip to the market, much the same as usual, not many stalls at the farmers market, but then it is the Midlands and not down south

Have just realised that we doing the same journey as last year at the same time, but did get here a different way

I think this how Carrie is feeling some days

Wightwick Manor

 

After a appalling day weather wise yesterday, today was much better, so after another trip to the handy Sainsbury’s by Bridge 43, we headed off for Wightwick Manor for my birthday outing, very interesting with lots of William Morris wallpaper, no photo’s allowed inside so had to make do with some of the outside

Kinver

 

After spending a quiet weekend at Wolverley, headed for Kinver to get the repairs carried out, stopped off at Whittington Lock to make the effort to go to Whittington Inn, ended up having lunch there, nothing to write home about shame it is a chain pub, but nice old building

Managed to catch Wilsons before they finish for the day, may get the cratch cover back tomorrow, hopefully the promised rain will miss us
