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.....
