The Red Carpet

A few domestic tasks first thing, like filling the water tank, and then we got in the car and headed off to Barton Marina.  We’d booked with the little cinema there for a lunchtime viewing of I Swear, a fantastic film about a man with Tourette Syndrome, who did a lot to educate people about it.  The cinema itself is really cute; we were in the little screen, but I can’t imagine the big one is much bigger.


There’s also a cafe bar there which looks pretty good.  The marina itself is a rather soulless place, with the noise of the A38 being very intrusive.


After the film we headed straight down the A38 to Lichfield for a top up shop at the big Tesco, then back at the marina we popped out for a walk down the towpath.  There were boats moving, something that seems like a rarity at the moment.
