Great Hayward





After a shopping trip into town, we returned to the boat and had a long chat to the couple on the motor and butty moored in front of us. They have an art business and make lovely rope keyrings.


They were busy changing the engine mounts on the Motor Boat "Da Vinci" and it brought back memories of doing similar jobs on hire boats out on the towpath.


After an early lunch we went back to look around Shugborough Hall and to look at the private apartments of Patrick Lichfield that are now on display.


On returing to the boat we took the dog for a short walk to make up for being left for a couple of hours and met a couple who had just moored. He had his garden shears out and was busy trimming the towpath. It turned out that they are from Cardiff.
