Lots more rain overnight but this morning was surprisingly sunny. We thought we’d better make the most of it so walked down the canal to Whittington, leaving the towpath at the first bridge, Bridge 80.
After you’ve walked past all the modern housing, the centre of the village is rather nice.
We went for a cuppa at the very pleasant the Main Street Cafe, outside of which is a post box with a Remembrance Day knitted top.
The local estate agent, which has a branch on the main street, has an unusual name and a novel way with its sold signs.
We walked through the village and bc, onto the towpath at the far end, Whittington Bridge. That’s the last one on the part of the Coventry Canal which was actually built by the Birmingham and Fazeley company. After that, the bridges revert from names to numbers again. There was a little bit of rain as we walked back, but again we were lucky, because no sooner were we inside the boat than it chucked it down. There’s been more heavy rain this afternoon. Adrian has been for another appointment about his foot, while I’ve done a couple of little boat jobs.
