Spring is in the air.

Well we did pop into Morrisons before moving of on Monday! Moving on after lunch. Tuesday we were up early and on the move by 20 to 9. Unusual for us these days!

Nesting time.

We had a busy day with 6 locks and 6 miles to arrive at Penkridge. Just as well we had set off early as we hadn't long moored when the heavens opened, so we were lucky. Just as we were coming into Penkridge we passed this swan sitting on a nest. First one we have seen this season.
Wednesday is market day so we did go for a look around. It is quite a big market selling live chicken as well as the usual clothes and veg.
All we bought was food, no danger of us running out of anything! It was quite a wet day so we stayed put. Another cruising day today of 4 miles and 5 locks which has brought us almost to Stafford Boat Club where we have arranged for a mooring tomorrow night so I can catch up with our washing!
