An early start saw us packing and heading to Stone with an aim of being on the water by 10am. Despite meticulous packing, we forgot an alarming amount of stuff which we had to buy in StoneЧитать далее

After our stunted start, we made good progress through the locks south of Stone. Travelling alongside the Trent, we saw masses of Canadian geese, ducks and even alpacas! The friendly swans visited usЧитать далее

An early start for me to finish a bit of work, although I popped out for a bit of misty morning photography first. After breakfast we walked into Wolseley and had a rummage through a fabulous antiqueЧитать далее

Leaving Wolseley, we headed for Rugeley hoping for a similarly interesting stop. Instead, we pulled into a ghost town. The entire high street except for Gregg's and Costa was shut and it all feltЧитать далее

So, we travelled from Alvecote to Polesworth in search of a good bookstore and a good pint...we were disappointed on all fronts. Polesworth was rather not worth a visit. The short town had little onЧитать далее

The rain remained with us through the morning, but just an hour from Fradley we stopped at the village of Alweras. The National Arboretum was nearby and we may stop there as we return through Alweras.Читать далее
