Over the past few days we have continued our journey along the Trent and Mersey Canal back to our home moorings at Shardlow. We stayed at Hopwas visitor moorings on Wednesday, another rather hot day. The temperature onboard reached 34 degrees!!! phew!😎☀. After calling at Streethay Wharf for diesel we moored at Alrewas and thoroughly enjoyed a take-away from the Cantonese in the village.

On Sunday we stocked up at the Co-op in Willington before calling at Horningblow Wharf Sanitory Station. After mooring for the evening we had a short walk to Mercia Marina.

Yesterday, Monday 17 August we descended Stenson Lock and moored near bridge 15. From here a short walk to the village of Barrow upon Trent is highly recommended. Located here is St Winifred's Church - a grade 1 listed Anglo Saxon Church. Nearby there is Greenacres a beautiful peaceful conservation area created out of a former gravel quarry.
The following morning we were delighted to discover a couple of visitors on the roof!!!
We carefully placed them in a safe spot to continue their journey!☺
