Didn’t realise it had been a whole week since my last entry, also the last day of June.  Where does the time go? Well we made it to Merry Hill on Monday and got all our shopping in Sainsbury’s.  Tuesday was an early start.  We descended the 8 Delph Locks before mooring for an extended lunch!  We then set off down the 16 Stourbridge Locks.  We then decided to cruise along the arm and in to Stourbridge itself.  This turned out to be a good decision as being a dead end it provides the home to the Stourbridge Canal Trust.  So we stayed there 2 nights until Sheree and Alec came to join us on the Thursday.  There was plenty of room there for them to leave their car, so we were able to take a trip.  So Thursday we cruised down 4 locks at Stewpony (we thought the horse meat scandal was finished!) on to the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal.  3 more locks brought us to Kinver where we spent the night.  Walking into the village for a lovely meal at Basil’s Brasserie in the evening.  Unfortunately the weather wasn’t very good to us and we did get a bit wet!  Friday morning Paul winded and we did a couple of locks before stopping for lunch.  We should have been a bit quicker as the rain started again as we turned back onto the Stourbridge Canal!  Sheree and Alec left us on Saturday after lunch and this morning we have moved on, back down the 4 locks onto the Staffs and Worcs but this time we have turned right and are now moored about a mile south of Swindon.  But not the one just off the M4!
