On Thursday we carried on along the Shroppie past the factory at Knighton ( it used to be the Cadburys factory)
Spot the hidden landrover...
And this rather nice old Rover which was hidden !
The bluebells are out everywhere now.
We went under the only surviving telegraph pole under a bridge along this stretch of the canal.
Cowley tunnel was carved out of sandstone, the colours were amazing inside and the boat before usmade us smile as they came through singing Baa Baa Black Sheep.
Greg stopped on the way to look at an old WW11 aerodrome where an American thunderbolt was reported to have crash landed in the waterway!
We loved these 2 happy people made out of old car parts at the end of someone's garden
The first lock we arrived at this morning.....
And then I thought we were nearly home.......
Once we were on the Staffordshire and Worcester canal we saw this building...apparently its Tixall gatehouse-it was once used as a prison for Mary Queen of Scots!
Well I tried but he just wouldn't look my way.
At Little Haywood we past this unusual stonemasons cottage with all sorts of interesting things in the garden.
Finally moored up just outside Rugeley, ready for a good night s sleep!!!
Happy days.
