There seem to be well used 7 day moorings all around the junction, so we stopped to take a breather here for a while. We had been cracking on apace in order to ascend Atherstone locks before they closed in November for refurbishment. Sunday lunch in The Greyhound was good and the place was extremely busy too. FMC Clover came to moor briefly here just as I was walking over the bridge,
We had a trip into Coventry to buy some new boots for himself. He found some almost immediately in Blacks and after perusing the shops we had lunch in Wetherspoon’s Flying Standard. What a magnificent timber-framed building it is with such intricately carved wooden gables etc. Why is it that men wait until the soles are hanging off their footwear being leaky and falling apart before they buy new ones? I think it’s the time of year for me to sabotage the slippers again too!

Hi Wozie,
Thank you so much for leaving the lovely comment on my blog.Having now found your blog and added it to my bloggers list I was wandering if those three odd ball ducks you photographed on 28th October were taken at Otherton Lock on the Staffs and Worc. I have a picture very similar but they were asleep at the time. Would be interested to know. Look forward to maybe meeting one day. Until then... keep cruising..... You may gather I'm a Strictly Fan (:

Thanx to you both, I have replied via your blog and by texting.
