Since my last blog we have an extra crew member on board in the shape of my 8yr old granddaughter. She was dropped off on Wednesday whilst we were at Fradley junction, and is staying for a week. Then we will have her 6yr old brother for a week. We moved from Fradley on Thursday.
We topped up some shopping at the local co-op in Whittington, and had two nights here as we were feeling rather tired and the weather wasn’t too bright. There was a park locally so I took LC there. The zip wire was a favourite. I’ve managed to see some more wild flowers (not seen any for a while). So here goes.
Today we set off and the forecast was for rain. So far it has been sunny and very muggy. We stopped at Fazeley junction to fill up again with water, empty the cassette (we have one broken at the moment and need a replacement blade), and tip out rubbish.
We have turned left at the junction and remain on the Coventry canal. We were going to head for Birmingham, but have again changed our minds! So now heading for Hawkesbury junction and maybe the Ashby canal.
The nutty things are Oak apples, a sort of incubator for a waspy thing, not sure if they are symbiotic or parasites.
