Enjoying the lower Staffs and Worcester

10 locks.

Again this morning, the spirit was willing but the mind said "stay in bed"!! However,it was a gorgeous sunny day and the canal beckoned. We set off and wound a few locks and worked up an appetite for breakfast. Chef Marcus cooked on the move and as a result, tasted better than usual. Again, uneventful was the word to describe the day. A few hours were spent moored in the sun at Kidderminster.

Moored in the sunshine at Kidderminster

This was when we found that the locks on the Severn closed at 4pm and we'd have to spend the night at Stourport. James bought more Lego in Kidderminster and spent a few happy hours in the front cockpit assembling it. A warm and cosy evening was spent in the Basin. We even found a whole load of discarded firewood in the skip- very dry and all small sizes.
