After failing to make Willington yesterday we decided today
would be a rest day. A short hop through Stenson Lock had us mooring close to
the Green in Willington by about 11:30am. This gave us plenty of time to have a
wonder around the village and pick up a few supplies. Amongst the boring stuff
I managed to find some nice unpasteurised Lancashire, and traditional red Leicester cheese from the deli/cafe opposite the railway
station. We also called into the Dragon pub to book a table for tonight and
have a quick pint before returning to the boat for a spot of lunch.
As you can see from the photo, taken in the garden of the
Dragon, Spot is finding all the cruising a bit to much.
How about this for a hard working mum, this mallard had 15
chicks in tow, I was not fast enough to
get them all into the photo.
The food at the Dragon was, as usual, excellent and good
value, I am pleased we decided to have a short day to stop in Willington.
Weather forecast said sun tomorrow yippee, Alrewas here we
come!
