Fradley Junction and Sunday Lunch at The Swan


A bit of a lazy start this morning as the weather was hot and sunny so we sat on the deck and drank tea until about 10:30.  I took Spot for a walk along the tow path and came across Bruce and family on nb Sanity Again. Bruce is the first fellow blogger I have met on our travels, it is good to put a face to a blog. Nice to meet you Bruce I sure we will bump into each other again.
Finally we set off only to stop at the next lock to remove a large woven plastic coal sack from the prop.  The intention was to push on down the Birmingham and Fazley, but after talking to the crew of nb Tilly, we decided they had the better idea and went for Sunday Lunch at The Swan. The Calvary was very good, lots of meat and 10 different vegetables, Apple and Pear Crumble for pud.  We sat at a table with an 80 year old chap called Denis who eat there most Sundays. He entertained us with stories of his last years holiday, a 2500 mile road trip around Norway! I hope I am up to that sort of trip when I'm 80.
Got back to the boat about 3:00 and fell asleep.

  1. Is it a coincidence Chris that every blog that you do seems to have food and drink as a major feature

  2. Considering you were loading the kitchen up with food, you seem to be spending a lot of time eating out!!!! P.S. We haven't escaped yet.
