Onto the Staffs and Worcestershire canal yesterday just after passing the impressive Shugborough Hall. Spent last night on Tixall Wide, which is renowned for it's kingfishers but all I saw were Canada Geese and the occasional coot. Had my first accident. I had passed hardly any boats and sure enough one was coming the other way at a bridge with a blind bend. I had already slowed, not sure about the other boat and I was partially in the tunnel. Either he decided he could make it or that he could not stop. There was just room for both of us - but not for his chimney and the top of his boat against the bridge roof. I had no damage (maybe a bit of paint/blacking removed). I do hope he did not suffer too much.
I also planted out my primulas in one of the £5 strawberry planters I got from Homebase. Not sure what I am going to plant in the other one - not strawberries.
