We left Shugborough Hall on a foggy morning but the sun soon
came through and burned the fog off.

A great days cruise up to Fradley junction
and we managed to get a mooring close to the pub.
Saturday and a foggy start to the day.
we turned right at Fradley Junction on to the
Coventry canal and made our way to Huddlesford where there is a weekend
gathering of historic boats and a fair with vintage cars and stalls. We were
very luck to grab the last mooring as we approached the gathering. So on a
sunny Saturday afternoon we took a walk to the gathering. We had a look around
the fair and made a couple of purchases then had a look around the historic
boats.
Sunday and we were joined by our friends Mike & Karel
who came up to see us and bring us a Captain's Perch seat we had ordered a while
back, this is to be fixed on the stern of Tacet and will be a nice and
comfortable seat to perch on. It looks lovely and we cant wait to have it
fitted in a couple of weeks time.
We all walked to the gathering and had a really good look around there was some lovely cars. we had a good look at the trade boats and both Mike and myself made a purchase from the Home Brew boat so we will be making some more wine soon.

Monday we woke to some very heavy rain and decided to stay
put for a while hoping the rain would clear a little which it did. So we untied
and left Huddlesford at 11.45 and cruised towards Frazley Junction as we are
going back in to Birmingham for the weekend. Our youngest son Sam is coming
with Rachel to see us for the weekeknd and we are very much looking forward to
seeing them. There is a Trade boat gathering in Birmingham so we are going to
support the traders. At Frazley we bumped in to N/B BriarRose with Adam & Adrian on board. We were invited round for an afternoon cup of tea and cake. We
had a very enjoyable time and it was good to catch up with them both at last.
