After the 2 previous glorious days, today we went to Stoke on Trent.
We left Barlaston at 9:00. Weather still fairly sunny, though it clouded over towards lunchtime. We arrived at Etruria, the old pottery centre, at 13:00 after going through the industrial outskirts of Stoke. Little remains of the pottery industry, though the immediate vicinity of Etruria is interesting. There is an industrial museum and an old flint mill still in working order. Unfortunately these are only open Wednesday-Sunday.
We have decided to stay at Etruria for the rest of the day as rain is forecast and there is little desirable mooring this side of Harecastle tunnel.

Mike and Denise took early retirement in 2005 after working for 30 years in IT. We bought Densie in 2006 with the intention of taking long trips each year and eventually to visit all of the accessible canal system. This blog will describe our travels.
