Rugely Old Trades

I loved this big metal sculpture in Rugeley celebrating the town's former trades.....

 

Towpath Characters

We met some great characters on the towpath........

 

Pacemakers In Rugeley

 

A big thankyou to Duncan of Pacemakers- Rugeley Scooter Club. What a great bunch of blokes! I am the proud owner of a Pacemakers shirt he kindly delivered to the boat. I guess that makes me an honorary member, even though I haven't got a scooter.....

Birds and Hitchhikers

 

Some birds spotted on the canal....plus a couple of insect hitchhikers! 

Moorings

 I loved drawing what I could see at each mooring on the canal banks....

 

Leaving our mooring at Kings Bromley, we saw these two fellas heaving in a rope. Aries seemed to be stuck on a rusty old bollard. Plus another ironically-named boat......

Kath's Narrow Escape

 

 

We missed a week as I wasn't fit enough, but managed a trip up the Trent and Mersey, narrow boating ....and we really did see a boat called "Kath's Narrow Escape".....
