Oct 5

Sorry, no pics today.

We had a major travel day, as we had been in Penkridge on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire canal. It poured rain Saturday am, so we went into the local market. Some shopping and browsing; a hot chocolate or coffee, and then the skies cleared, so we moseyed along to Coven, where we spent a restful night in a cutting/tree tunnel, well sheltered from any wind.

Today (Sunday) was a crisp morning, and the decision was to move along smartly. Coxens got up early and we were on the canal by 0815h. We toured the entire day, and arrived in Kinver at about 1800h, to the sound of change ringing from the local church. (I missed that chance to ring with them!). A brief stop for supplies, and then to the pub for Sunday roast. Ooops- they finish food at 1700h on Sunday, so we are back on the boat for supper. We are anticipating a significant storm overnight, with wind and rain, so we are planning a day of make and mend on the boat.

I'm a retired school teacher, now living on my Dutch cruiser in France. I'm touring as much of the canals and river systems as I can. This blog describes what I do and where I've been. I did spend 5 years on first a narrowboat, and then this boat, in Britain.
