Schnell eingeschlafen, früh wach. Aber der Blick aus dem Fenster entschädigt für das frühe Aufstehen.

Day 22
28 de abril de 2023, Inglaterra ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Today was cloudy till an hour after we finished.
We walked through a shooting range(scary ), passed the JCB Academy where King Charles was visiting and changed counties once again. (Now in Derbyshire).
We also got ice cream from the very cute honesty shop. And of course ended the dad with a cider.Leia mais

Wolseley Wildlife Centre
18 de outubro de 2020, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
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 antique shop and a small gift shop.

Over the road was the Wildlife Centre. Here a raised boardwalk ran through the trees and lakes, looking over myriad waterfowl including some pretty bold geese! It was a very pleasant way to begin the day rather than simply eating, unmooring and heading out.Leia mais

Stone
17 de outubro de 2020, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
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 Stone Morrison's.

At the marina, we got on the water with a surprising lack of faff... which wasn't to last. Less than an hour outside of Stone, Ben complained at the lack of responsiveness from the engine. Despite clearing the prop of a wealth of tangled weeds and cabling the engine still wouldnt rev. A call to the rental company quickly diagnosed a snapped throttle cable so we moored up and waited for them to fix it. They were mercifully swift to allow us to make progress towards Great Haywood.Leia mais

A chilly start along the canal and then over Cannock Chase. Lack of signs and obstructive cows made the afternoon more of a challenge. 17 miles today.

Shugborough
30 de outubro de 2020, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
We split up this morning, with Ben and I departing the boat at 8am for an hour's walk to the Shugborough National Trust estate. Mum and Kev stayed behind with the boat to visit the antique shops in Wolseley and buy a rabbit of their own.

The walk up the canalside in the early morning sunshine was lovely, and we visited the Essex Bridge at Greater Haywood, the oldest surviving packhorse bridge in the UK apparently. We took some time to play with our cameras taking photos at the bridge before walking through to the estate itself. COVID regulations meant an annoying myriad of one way or locked routes (annoying only as it seemed to serve little purpose to the prevention of spreading the disease), but we walked through and up to Hadrian's Arch under a threatening sky. Here we played some more with the cameras and then walked back down to the walled garden. The Head Gardener's house is stunning, if sadly disused, but the produce here was extensive and we took some deliciously fresh blackberries.

A call from mum informed us not only that they had moored up near us, but also that Kev had managed to fall in to the canal (although understanding why took work given her hysterical laughter!).

We wandered up the canal to the Canalside Farm Shop and Cafe where we had a well-deserved breakfast. The farm shop sells the most lovely looking food so I bought a few cakes for the final day before we went back to the boat to head for Stone.Leia mais

Wolseley Bridge
17 de outubro de 2020, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
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 us as we waited for locks to fill. I took over driving for a while, which turned out to be a challenge - my driving was fine but Ben's map reading was so questionable he got off far too early for a lock and ended up having to get back on the boat!

En route we found a lovely farm shop/cafe just outside of Great Haywood, picking up some lovely bread and cakes for the journey. The rain misted in as we left the farm shop but not enough to hold us back.

We were aiming for Great/Little Haywood, but decided to push on just little to Wolseley Bridge. A quick wander from the boat revealed a 26 acre wildlife refuge and antiques shops that made planning for tomorrow very simple. Whilst the Indian restaurant and the local pub had no table available for us to eat at, we had a few pints at the Wolseley Arms before eating some of our recently purchased baked goods on the boat (after a quick stop at Londis for playing cards that we obviously forgot - standard). Given the local amenities, and the tiredness of end of term, we had an early night in anticipation of the onward journey.Leia mais

Wolseley
29 de outubro de 2020, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Before we left Fradley, I cooked a full English to set us up for the day, and headed for the first lock. From here, rather than jumping back on the boat, mum and I walked canalside for about three miles, detouring through Handsacre and Armitage to a fantastic bakery.

We pushed on to Wolseley where we popped back into the antique shops and I purchased a superb wooden jointed rabbit (and mum bought a dragonfly which would caught controversy!). At the Wolseley Arms pub, we had a few drinks and some dinner, before returning to the boat to work through the gin we had brought with us but were yet to touch!Leia mais
