Thank you to everyone who came and supported the Norbury Canal Festival last weekend despite the weather. We had a great time and were introduced to many new traders we wouldn't normally have crossed paths with, as the Shropshire Canal is new territory to us. We even got to be in the paper!

After the event, we moved off that evening to moor overnight in Gnosall. We desperately needed some foody bits and quite fancied a takeaway after a busy weekend.

Then each day, trying to avoid the wind, we made our way to Great Haywood in order to trade for the weekend.

Leaving Great Haywood this morning at 7am, we dropped down the lock and had a glorious quiet journey to Rugeley, where we could do a proper shop and some errands in town.
This evening, we have been able to do a bit of work on the butty and relax before our 10 day journey back to Foxton for the next Bank Holiday weekend....
