Tuesday for
me meant getting the car back to Kent.
It seemed to take all day as I had the M6 and M1 early morning rush to
contend with and then had to contend with public transport on the way
back. I got a bus from Coventry to the
village nearest the boat and Karen and Buddy walked across the fields to meet
me. One was a field corn field.
Field corn is
used for cattle feed and making things like corn flour. The corns people eat are called sweet corns
and are a different plant to the field corn. Buddy was on a tight lead across this sheep
field – the dark clouds looked ominous but they didn’t come to anything.
Part of the
walk was along the Coventry Way where this pretty stone footbridge crosses Smite Brook near
Brinklow. The bridge is strangely called Lover's Bridge but I suppose Lovers' Bridge would be too simple and not conjure up any mystery.
During the
day Karen had made a start on re-potting some of the plant pots with winter pansies and spring
bulbs which made a cheery sight on our return to the boat.
It was good
to relax in the evening knowing that we were free to travel where we wanted and
not have to worry about moving a car etc.
We are really looking forward to getting on the move again on Wednesday –
the last week away has been fun but tiring.
