So glad we fitted in here.

 Off this morning to Alrewas.  David and myself have been practicing pronouncing Alrewas.  A local told us to lose the R, and yet others heavily pronounce the R.  

It's a real tongue twister.

Pink Footed Geese, perfectly acceptable to my mind,  (not the poxy Canadian geese mind) I don't believe I've seen a breeding pair with young before.  

A bit out of sequence but these two impressive buildings right on the canal caught my eye.  

I'd hazard a guess at mid victorian in age.  

And this one but it's right on the horrid A38 road.  Very big farmhouse if that what it was.

It was the most lovely sunny day, I did get quite hot so I hopped back onboard at the section.  We wanted to moor in Alrewas, it does get full, as we came out of the lock there was a WaL sized space so we just hopped on that.

That in the distance is the lock onto the short section of river.

We stayed a couple of nights here and met up with the fragrant John and Louise.  Frequent Flyers here will remember that they used to be boaters and indeed John did blog too, but now they have thrown all that in and gone diving, deep sea diving!

Stupidly I forgot to take a photo.... again.

We ate in the nice pub here and had a afternoon of playing cards.
