Coven Heath

I am having trouble editing and publishing drafts of my posts so I am having to re-write everything. Please bear with me.

A late start for us (0815) for the Wolverhampton 21 locks. They were all (but one) against us. We had a bacon buttie from the stand about half way down. Arriving at the junction three hours later we turned right to travel up the Staffs and Worcester Canal and moored just after Coven Heath - that was enough work for the second day out!!

A Mother's Day card (not that David or I have a mother any more).

And one of David's favourite pictures of a heron.

Wolverhampton

We left our winter moorings in Gas Street, Birmingham and travelled to Wolverhampton. It is always such a lovely feeling of freedom to be away, not knowing when or where we will end up for the night. The newish moorings opposite the service point are safe but they are on the "off side" so that I had to be dropped off to go into the town and then phone David when I got back for him to bring the boat over to me.

The card is one I have made with three duck feathers found on the towpath. It has a piece of music paper behind it and is then matted on to green handmade paper and brown paper and then mounted onto a duck-egg blue card
