The morning looked pretty grim to start off. Heavy mist and generally chilly and damp. At about 10:30 it improved greatly and it has now turned into a very pleasant day.
We left our mooring near Fazeley Junction at 10:45, filled up with water at the nearby BW facilities which also, unusually, have recycle bins for paper, bottles etc. Then westwards in inceasingly warm sunshine along what is temporarily the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal for a couple of miles to our next moorings at the small village of Hopwas, where we had stayed on the outward journey.
After lunch, we had a short walk to post my latest Open University assignment and then strolled through Hopwas woods which looked wonderful carpeted in wood anemones. There were a very large number of bluebell leaves showing so the woods should look spectacular in a few weeks time. Hopwas woods are also used as an army firing range, but today there were no red flags to be seen.
Then back to the boat via the Tame Otter pub where we enjoyed a quick half pint.
