Our first full day on our first proper holiday

Despite our best intentions, we didn't get as quite an early start as we'd intended. However once we were up, the boys were raring to go. The heater plugs are definitely playing up, so Marcus started the engine using the trick with the jump leads, which we learned when the motor home heater plugs were playing up!! An uneventful cruise down the Staffs & Worcester. We were not particularly slow, but only managed to get as far as the roundhouse ruin before we moored up.

We had been dodging showers most of the day and we'd had enough by evening. The little wood stove kept us toasty warm, but it does have to be fed with wood regularly!! I found a lovely bit of pine, nice and dry, so Marcus sawed it up and it burnt beautifully & smelled great too. Some achy muscles on me- must be out of practice and had a few too many cream cakes!!
