We are not far from Cannock Chase, and have been all week. It has given us time to do some servicing and touch a bit of the paint work up between showers. Narrow boats tend to get scratched a bit along the sides going in and out of locks, there are strips of metal called rubbing strips which run along the length of the boat to protect the sides and these take most of the scrapings, so it's nice to put a drop of paint back on them now and again.
This place is very quiet and teeming with wild life. Swans and Geese have nests just a few yards from where we are moored, the heron comes each morning for a feed of fish, he seems to do very well.
We plan to move on Thursday all being well
