Weather this morning is back to sunny, but a defiant chill in the air,we leave our mooring once again,we have decided not to travel a great distance, the reason is just that we want to take our time, and we are now entering the outskirts of Birmingham and its becoming more urbanised and we rather be out in the countryside. So we only travel for an hour before we moor just before the Shirley lift bridge which is electronically operated, we are near the newly formed village go Dickens Heath.
Dickens Heath was a agricultural hamlet for 150 years until it was develop in 1997 and was transformed into a modern village providing much needed housing for Birmingham and the Midlands.
The trip today even though short was a nice trip the canal travelled through tree lined banks and the canal water was covered in a green algae that our boat cut through leaving a trail in the rippling water.
Should have a lot to write about tomorrow as we enter into the outskirts of Birmingham.
