Wolverley to Kinver - Staffs and Worcester Canal
This evening we are moored in the village of Kinver, (home of Wilsons boat covers to fellow anoraks among you!) and supping beer in the evening sun.
Our day started feeling like winter with a damp mist, and cold air. We walked to the very attractive village of Wolverley, carved out of red sandstone, another nice place to live, but alas the Post Office had been closed down.
As we moved up the canal we learned of a tree down ahead, and sure enough after the very tame tunnel at Cookley, a tree was across our path. BW had already been alerted and arrived just as we did and quite swiftly and efficiently removed the problem. Amazingly only ourselves and one other boat were held up.
We passed the narrow boat "Rome" in a purpose built mooring at the end of the garden of a rather lovely house, which we guess by the boat signwriting is the home of Graham Booth, author of "Rome was'nt built in a day" from Waterways World magazine, again an anoraky piece of info!
