Black Country Living Museum Dudley

I woke on Saturday morning to blue skies and enjoyed a late breakfast !! as both of them were laying in bed.
Clinton was on about some museum they were going to on Sunday and I thought to myself oh another easy day for me sleeping on the boat.

So we set of for the Dudley Canal Trust moorings right at the back of the Black Country Living Muesum.
It seemed no sooner had I got comfortable on the Futon we were near to the moorings the boat swung to the left and I heard Sharon congratulate Clinton on the tight left  turn, then on a bit further, this was where things did not go quite as planned as when Clinton was winding the boat which just means turning it round in a winding hole. The wind caught the boat and at first was helping the boat to turn but then it started to push the boat towards another boat Clinton had to step off and on to  the towpath and pull  Tacet round its a good job he is getting fitter !!!. So we moored up and relaxed.

Two other boats joined Tacet and last night Clinton & Sharon were out side with the other boaters enjoying there first BBQ of the year the smells were lovely but I was relaxing on the Futon.
Sunday we all woke to a rather overcast day, they got themselves ready and left for the Museum. Clinton was pleased as he had got a voucher that allowed one person in free which he had to join the library in Birmingham to be able to print off.

When they finally came back to the boat they kept talking about how lovely the museum was and how nice it was to see so many of the houses with real fires and characters dressed in period clothes, Sharon was specially pleased as when they were in a school class room re-enactment she was picked out for her lovely hand writing skills It seems Clinton needs to try harder.
It seems they had a great time and especially enjoyed the beef dripping cooked fish and chips.
So currently we are sitting in Tacet with the fire alight and guess where I am sitting.
