After nearly a 400 mile round trip to Chi and back for a two minute hospital appointment we are now heading up the Staffs and Worcs Canal to Aldersley Junction where we will encounter the Wolverhampton 21, which takes us to, yes, you've guessed it, Wolverhampton then we will travel on to Dudley and be tourists for the day and visit the Black Country Museum.
Today has been quite thrilling because we woke to sunshine and travelled, during the morning , in summer like weather. Sid even donned his shorts for a while until the clouds built and he had to return to trousers 'cos he was getting chilly! Actually it has remained much milder all day and we even enjoyed an ice cream sitting outside. It is the little things that make us happy.
We have been witnessing the swollen rivers that flow beside the canals and flooding over the fields especially the Trent and the Sow, as a result of all the heavy rain we have been experiencing.
Along the way today we have marvelled at the fields of poppies, the tall foxgloves and the masses of elderflower as well the various hues of green. What a beautiful country we have and how lucky are we to enjoy it at just 2 miles an hour.
