We went on bit of a road trip today as we needed to get a zip fixed on the cratch cover plus a couple of press studs replaced. We ended up driving to Kinver Canopies who are in Stourbridge so we will pick it up next week when we head off to the NEC.
After we dropped off the cover we decided to check out a couple of Motorhome dealers in Birmingham. (We are not ready to buy a motorhome yet, but it's good to get an idea of what is out there). Not only were the dealers depressing but some of the suburbs we drove through ... :( There are some lovely places in the UK but when you go through the less salubrious ones ... they are just so bloody awful, mind you, a lot of it is down to the residents who just chuck their crap everywhere.
Anyhow, we escaped from the blackest of the Black Country and drove back towards our little slice of heaven up the deserted M6!!
Rather than going back to the boat or off to the pub we thought we would go for a jolly nice walk up the Downs Banks, just outside Stone.
It was deserted and oh-so peaceful, so off went the doggies in search of the dastardly wabbits ...

We even took a selfie ...
It was actually quite warm, so we decided to have a lie-down on the grass for a while and soak up the ambience ...
Sammie enjoyed it ...
As of course so did Bomboliscious ...
We helped ourselves to a few juicy blackberries along our walk. As you can see by my ever-increasing girth the 5/2 diet has gone down the pan!
We had to put the boys back on their leads as they were showing just a bit too much interest in the local rabbits ... when they get too caried away they don't come back!
And finally back to the tranquil Aston Marina ...
aaahhh ... :)
To think you were so close you could have helped us lock down the Wolverhampton 21.
