A night in a marina

We didn't leave Rugeley until Friday. The weather still grey and cold but thought we would get moving. We stopped of at Kings Bromley Marina to buy 2 bags of coal! We keep doing that thinking it would be the last coal purchase for a while, but keep needing more.
We did have a busy day on Friday, starting out about 9.15 we came through Fradley Junction where there are 5 locks, but a volunteer lock keeper on 4 of them.  In all we worked our way down 10 locks arriving at Barton Marina at about 4.
We have not been in here before, but as well as several expensive shops there is a cinema. Last night we went to see Finding Your Feet. An excellent English film. Good cast and narrow boats too!
Today a visit to the launderette before moving on later.
