Lounging around in Lapworth

A very quiet and chilled day reading, embroidering (is that a word? I think not!) and internetting - no travelling by boat only by foot. We’re staying in Lapworth so I can get the train to Sutton Coldfield via Birmingham tomorrow. Barry may drive a little way up the canal – we went for a long walk and found a rather nice looking pub called the 'Tom ‘o the Woods' on the canalside in the direction we'll be travelling on Monday, so I suspect he may be a customer of theirs on Saturday evening!

Sandra chilling and blogging. Note the new curtains!

The Navigation pub in Kingswood. We stopped here for a drink two years ago on our boat trip

On Monday we have 21 locks in a row to get through to get to Warwick so we probably both need a weekend off them; they do get a little tiresome after a while. We found a canal shop today and bought all the maps we should need for our journeys over the next 3 months – they include details of all the pubs along the way which is handy, lol.

I’m going to visit my great niece ‘Ria-May’ tomorrow, so that'll be cool. She’s just over 2 weeks old now, so I hope her poor mum is feeling a little more human. Then I’m off to the Ball with Sarah, in a long black dress I bought 6 years ago and have worn only once – I just hope it still fits me!!!!

Barry's changed the tick boxes at the end of our postings today, just to keep you all on your toes - it's always reassuring to find a few ticks there when we log on and know someone out there is interested in our ramblings!!
