Saturday 7th February 2009 - Tamworth ~ Coventry Canal

Moved down to Sutton Road Bridge and moored for the night - we don't believe in doing too much in one day!

Sunday - walked into Tamworth (about half a mile from mooring) and looked round the shops at the Ventura Retail Parks ( all the shops you need, large M&S, Argos, Homebase, Boots, Asda, Sainsburys etc.). Then walked into the town - very quiet on a Sunday. Walked round the castle but didn't go in as we had Molly with us.

Monday - collected water at Fazely Junction and did the weekly wash, will fill up again in the morning and upsticks.

Friday 6th February

Another lovely sunset.

Hopefully we will upsticks tomorrowand move down to Fazeley Junction as the weather is supposed to be good and more snow is forecast for Sunday night into Monday.

Thursday 5th February 2009 - Coventry Canal

Went to the Plough, Huddlesford for our evening meal -venison steaks which where delicious, although the puddings (apple crumble and pecan tart) tasted just 'out of their sell by dates'.

Thursday 5th February 2009

We're now moored by bridge 83 on the Coventry Canal. We walked into Whittington (couldn't find Dick, but his cat has a pub named after him/her). This sunken boat is just before bridge 80 and appears to have had a BW notice attached to the tiller.

Caught the bus to Lichfield - had a nice day round the shops the sky was clear but the wind was biting cold. Treated us to M&S Dine in for Two for tea tonight - very nice.
