Cannock Chase perfect day

We moored close to Cannock Chase, an infamous area of Staffordshire where 3 schoolgirls were murdered during the late 1960's, their killer now spending life in prison. The countryside here is beautiful, as is the weather, warm and sunny. We are devising a cunning plan to incorporate cruising and attending various hospital appointments. The former seemingly helping my current health, the latter essential for the future. A combination of the two offers hope, something sadly lacking previously. It is always essential to have hope, whatever the situation. I am now being blinded by the light at the end of the tunnel  !   We have had more professional advice regarding our boat electrics which again confirms our builders have been talking crap, which we have always suspected.

It turned into a perfect day. The perfect start and it still got better. breakfast and lunch in glorious sunshine on the back of Tardis Two. Brilliantly relaxing cruising and helpful fellow-boaters at all the locks. A good mooring tonight and I have felt good all day. Just as things should have been since our boating days first started. Perfection. Long may it last. Sid the cygnet is doing well apparently but they are trying to build him up as he is underweight for his age. He is in a good place and will be returned to home territory once considered fully recovered .
