To and fro and it's back to Milford again

Great Haywood to Milford, Shropshire Union Canal

It’s not really how it seems.. one move forward, and now one move back, but we wanted to go into Stafford today so Vic could get an eye test.. oh and some books for him to read.. teehee that sounds odd!

The bus stop is a very short walk away from the canal by Milford Wharf you see, so it is much easier to find a bus stop there than at Great Haywood.  Anyway I needed to make a loaf and the engine would have to be run..

With the wind whistling around Tixall Wide our mooring at Milford was much calmer, I love this little turnover bridge which takes the towpath from one side of the canal to the other.. pretty one this is.

We’ll collect a bit more wood on our way back to Great Haywood tomorrow, there was still some left from where we filled our roof after the ice melted last week.. just gonna top up the front cratch.. then I think we will be off towards Stone and some positive boating for a change.. I have given up planning anything of note until this recent cold snap finally goes and the leaves start to appear on the trees.

On a boaters note, the water point that used to be at Milford Wharf just opposite where we are moored is no more, which is a pity, it was taken away a few of weeks ago according to locals.  Used to be a handy that one when passing.

British Waterways is to become a charity and will be asking the Government for that status next month… I find that hard to take in somehow..
