Summer holidays start today!

We are on the move again. This time we will be out for a couple of months during which we plan to cruise down the Severn to Gloucester and beyond, returning via the River Avon to Stratford. After then who knows, depends how much time we have.

Denise has got the packing process well sorted. Clothes for a month and food for 3 days were all packed in a couple of hours first thing this morning. After unpacking and eating lunch at the marina we started up the Trent and Mersey Canal. We are now moored at Rugeley once again.

Nothing much to say about this part of the journey, we have done it many times before. Unusually, Rugeley power station was working with steam blowing out of the cooling towers, but that's not very interesting. The journey was very pleasant however because of the perfect weather - sunny and warm, but not too hot. Being sat in the open at the back of the boat in very hot weather can be uncomfortable, but today there was a cooling breeze.
