Visitors

A short trip on Tuesday morning took us to Fradley Junction where, not only were we able to dispose of rubbish, fill with water and empty toilet cassettes but also we had arranged to meet good friends, Dave and Val together with Dylan, their working cocker spaniel.

We enjoyed a lovely afternoon with a good lunch,  a good walk and tea and cake to follow and look forward to seeing them possibly on the next leg of out journey.

The next day after heavy overnight rain and under threatening rainclouds we turned onto the Trent and Mersey heading towards Rugeley. Having had erratic mobile signals for a couple of days and in need of arranging transport for our return home at the weekend, Rugeley, although not the most appealing town, was at least connected to the outside world!  And there is a big new Tesco right by the side of the canal! Easy shopping!

The Canal and River Trust cater for all!

We decided to hire a car to take us to Fenny to collect our car. It was cheaper and obviously quicker than a rather convoluted train journey. We are leaving the boat at Great Haywood for the week whilst we return to Chichester for Sid's hospital visit and also to go to a wedding. We will also catch up with the family and hopefully some friends during our time at home.
