After Tixal

Today we slowly made our way from Tixal towards Weston on Trent. A lovely village with a village pub with a village football pitch right outside the pub! I had a lovely meal and a couple of pints before heading back to the boat. Although Weston is a large village, it has no shop! I asked one of the locals about this who said the lady who ran the local shop and post office, retired and she refused to sell the business to either one of two locals who wanted to buy the it from her. So, no shop in Weston.

  2. Hi Paul and Val. It's so nice to hear from you. We often wonder how you are getting on. It would be lovely to meet up sometime. We are just returning along the Caldon canal and then heading towards Great Haywood. We'll be out all summer so let us know where you are now and again. Take care, Ken, Lynne and the three doggies x
