Change of mind

It looked like yesterday's fears were realised when we got out of bed at around 7:30.  The domestic battery voltage was rather low.  So I started the engine before breakfast and left it running up to the time we were ready to go.  By then the voltage was higher than it had been all week and by the end of the day's journey was back to normal.  What had been the problem? No idea, perhaps damp and corrosion again.

On the Staffs & Worcestershire

Last night we had changed our plans.  Previously our intention was to go to Penkridge on the Staffs and Worcs.  However we had concluded that neither of us were that interested in going there.  It's a useful place for shopping and one of the pubs has has very good food.  And that's about it.  So a mile after leaving our mooring we turned the boat around and headed back to Great Haywood. Despite occasional light showers we reached there in time for lunch.  We took the opportunity to fill up with water and buy a few groceries at the farm shop. Then north up the Trent & Mersey Canal towards Stone.  By 3pm we had reached one of our favourite moorings out in the countryside at Ingestre.  I dont know how to pronounce it!
