Fradley to Polesworth

We were sat having breakfast as a coal boat passed us.  He'd previously gone the other way when we were still in bed.  It was a lovely morning so I took a few pictures.

We set off just after 9 and before long we passed the coal boat moored up.  He asked us if we wanted any coal and we took the opportunity to buy a couple of bags from him.  He'd been up to Fradley Junction that morning to wind.  Saying goodbye we headed off.

We passed through Hopwas and reached Fazeley Junction just after midday.  The 2 locks at Glascote were uneventful with only one boat coming down.

We eventually reached our mooring for the night at Polesworth just before 3 pm.

There were about 4 other boats on the moorings and everyone said hello and were busy doing chores or walking about.  We took a walk into the town to get a few supplies before heading back to a relaxing evening.  I also took the opportunity to re-pack the stern greaser as this was getting low.
