| Flower Display in Stone |
Had a later start this morning being Sunday, so set off along the canal
to the first of the four locks in Stone, went through the first two locks, then
stopped at the services for water, etc.
Then on to the next two locks, the last lock is called Star Lock and the
Star Inn is right by this lock. Through
there and on down the canal, it is nice open countryside along here, through
the next lock and so to the last lock for today, we went into the lock and a
boat was waiting to come up, the man and woman from that boat were at the gate
ready to do the paddles when I had shut the gate. We like to do the paddles one at a time, but
they started opening them together, Kev shouted to them to do just open one
first, but they took no notice, so I walked down and said please do them one at
a time, the chap didn’t like being told and he muttered to me about how peculiar
some people are, I just said to him well there is no rush and anyway its our
boat and with that he walked off in a huff back to his boat, oh well!!!
Down the lock we went and on along the canal and moored at Weston Upon
Trent. There was a boat just leaving the
moorings so we waited to go in that space, but they had difficulty getting out of
the space, not really sure why but it took a good 10 minutes or so, eventually
they went on their way and we moored up in the space.

| The Woolpack |
There are two pubs in Weston Upon Trent, not really much else, just
some nice cottages, it is a nice place though.
We walked up to the village green where The Woolpack is, went in and had
a drink, it is a Marstons pub, looked good though.
Walked back to the canal. The
other pub called The Saracen’s Head is near the canal, but we didn’t go in
there, it looked okay from the outside.
Back to the boat and just chilled out for the rest of the day. We are staying here tonight and moving off
again tomorrow.
