Final day at Saltisford


Well, we're off tomorrow morning. Today holds lots of going away tasks of shopping, putting off the recycling, taking Reg back to Blue Haven and much more. We have decided to finish the Warwickshire ring counter clockwise and slowly make our way back to Blue Haven for a spell as we think of where else we want to go while adjusting schedules to our work lives and need for train connections.

We have decided to wait for our visit to Stratford on Avon until the works are finished at the Basin. And, though we had thoughts of going there then on south-west onto the river Avon, south on the Severn to Bristol and then east on the Kennet and Avon Canal to Reading, then back up north on the Thames then Oxford Canal, we have decided that we're not quite ready for such a long trip whilst we still have such a need to tie up to train stations . We're also very cautious, in light of the floods of the last two years, of being on the rivers in June. So, we'll go back to Blue Haven, rethink, then probably set out north to the Trent and Mersey Canal from the Coventry Canal. But, this could all change! Just keeps you reading the blog...


As this was being written, the Geese woke from their post breakfast nap and are VERY loud!!! - you can see them in this quieter moment of breakfast.
