Because we don't have to be anywhere specific and to be honest haven't really made any plans for the summer it is a case of point and go for us at the moment. We spent a couple of days at Fazley then moved up to Sutton Road bridge for shopping. We met up with Leon here and ended up spending 2 nights. There is a new B & Q and Maplins close to the canal so we nipped in as we still need to get tiles for the bathroom, believe it or not we couldn't find anything that jumped up and grabbed us. There is new stock due (or so the advertising says) hence the lack of choice. Paul managed to spend £30 though.
With high winds and rain forecast we hadn't planned on moving today but when we got up the sun was out and it was relatively calm so we have moved up to Hopwas, again a short journey but we got here just as the heavens opened so that was good timing and ever since we have had some really squally showers and very high winds. At least we have the luxury of a couple of pubs here so who knows I may get taken out one evening, there is also the bus which goes to Tamworth one way and Lichfield the other so maybe the bus passes will get a bit of use. Don't know how long we will stay may be just a few days, one more overnight somewhere rural and we will be at Fradley where we will turn left and head for Tixall after that who knows, could be the Shroppie again or maybe Stourport we haven't been there, so, I think that's favourite but then again I would love to go back up to Whaley Bridge the options are endless so just watch this space.

Glad your not around Rugby, there's a "Union Canal Carriers" hireboat heading that way which has just caused chaos in Braunston managing to hit nearly every boat, (including ours) Paul would have loved it.
