We have been visiting with Barry and Alex, who now have Pharoah dogs as well as their Chinese Cresteds and Pugs, so we have been mugged by dogs instead of cats for a couple of days.
While we were here on the mooring we met a couple from Redhill on the River Soar. John builds boats and we had a look at his which was on it's maiden voyage. Very nice, all fitted out in oak, all I need is a big lottery win!
I walked down to George's yesterday and bought 'Pork with Wholegrain Mustard' and 'Welsh Dragon' sausages with some potatoes, leeks and red onions. George's Pork & Poultry are at the Whitchurch Boat Rally this weekend but will be trading at lock 15 at Audlem as well.
Today it was time to move on, we only went as far as the moorings between locks 2 and 3, which is where we collected all our damsons last year. A bit too late for any this year, there are a few but not enough to be worth the effort of collecting them. Tomorrow we won't be moving as there are high winds forecast then we will head for Market Drayton on Saturday.
