Insurance and mile stones

It was cold this morning, although the forecast sleet didn’t materialise.  We took a car-load of stuff to the recycling centre in Lichfield, and then carried on into town for a Tesco shop.  Back at the boat, Adrian followed up on one of the insurance quotes we’d had for Kingley Vale, and found it had gone down in price due to a Black Friday offer.  So we’ve gone with CraftInsure (and it’s probably the first Black Friday deal that’s actually proved to be worth it.

This afternoon, we walked down the towpath to The Plough because there’s a post box outside and we needed to get some birthday cards on their way.  I also walked the other way, past Streethay, s I needed more steps.  Just down from the marina there’s a mile post; I’d at first thought it was a half-mile post, because it’s very short.


Along past Streethp is another one, this one full size — but the figure on the left is still a half mile.  


I think the half miles on both are from Fradley Junction, but I’m not sure about the other one.  To my eyes, one says 5 and the other 6, which would mean they were going in the same direction as the half mile figure.  I might need to go back and have a closer look.
