A better day

Thursday has turned out to be a far better day than yesterday. A bit of cloud from time to time but mainly sunny.

We pootled along past Fazeley Junction and through Tamworth.

Quite disappointed to find a queue of boats at Glascote locks - but, that's boating for you.

Decided to tie up while we had lunch in Amington.

Here we are approaching Alvecote marina. Quite a few old work boats moored up in this marina.

Finally stopped at Polesworth and had a good walk round. We have often passed through but always at the wrong time of day.

A view of the Abbey - unfortunately it had just closed to visitors.

All around there are footpaths and alleyways, some quite special.

The Abbey gatehouse recently restored with lottery funds.

The street side of the gatehouse.

And lastly, what was once the school.

Glad we stopped here, while the sun was shining.
