Stack,n ZZZZZZZ.....zzzzz..ds...
A late start today even by our standards. Had to rush my Iron Man supplements a bit to move off about 11.58.5am. Fine day with a, standard of late, wind chill but we soon goobled up a few miles.
The Trent & Mersey from Great Haywood to Fradley Junction is a nice rural meander. As is the Coventry down to Whittington. Not overly busy but then we miss a lot of the early rush....
Colwich Lock has a nice Lock Keepers cottage and gardens....
There's a "Small Fortune" to be made using large Gunnera leaves like above for "Upper Class" umbrella's. The normal smaller leaf Gunnera would make umbrella's for Pygmy"s..
Just working on a way of attaching the handle...
Pulled up at Fradley Junction for water and got talking to a couple doing a couple of weeks on a hire boat. They had two dogs on board and unlike a lot of "Tow Path Mutts" these were Obedient and controllable...
Two Spaniels, Mum on right, with Daughter.....
Sit and Stay was a formality......
Lie Down wasn't a problem either...
Sit and Wait until master returns, Not a Problem.....
Our Son Tait, working in PNG, sent his mother a Birthday Wish on Monday, Hope they're NOT our bloody Relations.....
Moving closer to Birmingham.....
