Yet again I haven't updated things. After our night moored by the Tame Otter we continued our journey to Alvecote where we spent a week, trading for four days over the bank holiday weekend. It was nice to meet up with some friends we haven't seen since last year and catch up on what they have been doing. A few of us entered the pub quiz while we were there and our team won! We also had a nice visit from the Hobbins clan.
We left there on Thursday morning and made the short journey to Fazeley. On Friday I took a trip into Tamworth with my friend Jen, didn't spend too much money but had a good time. I'm waiting for a couple of parcels to be delivered which should arrive tomorrow, after that we may hang around here as there is a craft fair at the mill next to the canal on the 17th or we may start making our way slowly to Burton on Trent. A lot will depend on the weather forecast.
