Another weekend off …

And another late published blog, this time our excuse is another weekend off the boat.

Had a lazy day on Monday, didn’t move the boat, but we did walk back to Great Heywood to the farm shop for strawberries.

Tuesday, we followed a slow boat, towards Acton Trussell, then walked around the village, the canal book, says Acton Trussell “is best viewed from the canal”, it is obviously a commuter village but lots of nice houses and expensive cars. They were holding a Scarecrow competition (see photo below). We think this was a strong competitor! Roger had another hair cut sat on the bank, only one boat passed whilst cutting.

Wednesday, we moved back to Penkridge, to moor the boat for a few days, went to Penkridge market, a traditional market, where you could buy almost anything.

Thursday, Roger caught the train to Birmingham airport, via Wolverhampton to collect a hire car, so we could drive to Pocklington to celebrate Roger’s parents golden wedding anniversary.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday were spent with family celebrating.
