We woke to a strange sound this morning, so we got up to investigate and found it was omitting from the boat behind where its occupant was playing a squeeze box, I say playing in a sarcastic tone as no tune that I know was being extracted from this instrument..........
So we had breakfast and set off, we are not planning to go far today as we are in no rush, the sun is shining again but a crisp chilly morning greets us. Trees and bushes line both sides of the canal before we reach the cutting that's the approach to the 433 yards Shrewley tunnel which was opened in 1799, with its village perched above. We moor temporary before the tunnel and pay a visit to the shop in the village for milk and bread then its through the tunnel, and a umbrella is needed as the roof lets in the ground water and sometimes its feels like is raining inside.
Once we are through the tunnel the canal opens up,with hills on both sides a little further on the canal sit on top of a embankment and its by here that we notice a boat that's familiar to us. The boat " Dolceblue" is owned by Chis and Sarah and Della their dog whom we first met in the Wharf inn on the Shropshire canal a year ago, and our paths has crossed a few times since, so we stop and have a chat and decide to stay the night as its an idyllic spot over looking farmland.
So not a really a lot to write about today so speak to you tomorrow.
