Gnosall pronounced 'know all'!

Top of Tyrley locks

We spent the weekend in Market Drayton. We did move about half a mile on Saturday filling with water along the way. We walked into the town a few times whilst there. Quite a few shops including Lidl and Argos. Also as always lots of charity shops! So on Monday we moved on working five locks in the afternoon. Now a long lockless stretch ahead.
Yesterdays cruising seemed to be full of seldom seen bird life. First of all 2 mandarin ducks. We see lots of ducks but these beautiful ones are seldom seen. Also a kingfisher and what seemed to be a family of buzzards, with the parents trying to call the young one to them.
Arrived at Gnosall this afternoon. A small village in Staffordshire. Went for a walk to the village. We are now sat by the fire all snug as it is dark.
