Good Internet Connection deal in Tamworth surprises me

Today – Hopwas to Fazeley, Coventry Canal, 2.5 miles 0 locks
Weekend – Moored Hopwas, Coventry Canal

A nice mooring over the weekend, and I tried to be good and rest up as much as possible.  But such is the area around here I found it very frustrating trying to be good and stay indoors to get rid of this virus.  The woodland walks all over the place were far too much for me, and I was off out on both afternoons!…

No worry…. and the weather was perfect, a bit windy but the sky was as blue as I have seen it for ages.  Hopwas sure is a place of people and dogs, and no wonder there was so much dog poo here.. There were so many people up and down, we even had to shut the curtains when we ate our meals such was the interest in No Problem and it’s contents!

I popped into Tamworth via the local hourly bus from the pub, and it was my lucky day.  I went there to either renew or buy a new contract for my T-Mobile internet connection.  I had intended to go to the T-Mobile shop just to renew and upgrade, but I thought I would pop into Carphone Warehouse just to see if they could do a better offer for me.

I was dead lucky.. “Yes we have a new offer just started this morning.. £10 a month on the same tariff as you are using at the moment”… WOW.. well pleased with that.  They are giving £120 cash back after 4 and 8 months of being connected, just got to send the bills in.  I am happy with that, I do it every year with my own phone, never having to pay any line rental.. free phone and calls for me each year as it is!

I have been paying £29.99, so that will be a big saving for me..  We pulled the pins this morning after I had nipped to the Post Office to get my Mothers Day Cards, and a special one from Kiera and Niamh my grandchildren I was specially pleased with.  It had a badge on it, you know it isn’t often a grandma gets a card with a badge on it, and it says “Best Grandma”, Chuffed to bits with that, hey thanks you two …

Here looking back on the left is the Red Lion, I like that pub, good Sunday Roasts there and a real local, on the right is the Tame Otter, a much more what I call plastic pub that kids simply love, very family orientated.  You can see the bus there too on the way to Litchfield from Tamworth.. Hey it must have been 20 five past 11 then when this pic was taken!.. See I know all the times of the buses!

Arriving at Fazeley we moored at the services at the BW Offices and Service Area..

We reversed back to find a space for the evening on the otherside of the canal, and it will be an early pin pull in the morning to move down to Kettlebrook Wharf to collect the new mattress from The Bed Centre in Tamworth.  It’s quiet here tonight despite the housing outside.. mind you I do like the design of the houses round here..
