Saturday morning fuelled up , filled with water , rubbish  out  loo tank emptied and away we went retracing our steps back up the Staffordshire and Worcester to Autherley junction and moored for the night .Sunday morning backed up to the junction  with some difficulty ,Sybil was being difficult and didn't want to go back in a straight line but we succeeded in the end  and turned on to the Shropshire union  canal , we have reached the town of Brewood ( pronounced Brood)   Walked into town only ten minutes stroll  looking for a fathers day , treat the first pub we came to"The Bridge" no food after four so onward into the town centre not very far  and more than worth the walk we looked round the shop windows there were pubs restaurant's and cafes but most were closed !! then we saw "The Lion"  door was closed looked shut but we could see people inside so tried the door what a good choice full house good dining and good service they found us a table Hilary had the pork Sunday lunch more like a pork steak complete with crackling I had the rump steak medium rare but when it came I though at first it was fillet it was spot on , tender even for some one with a deficit of teeth , as good as I have had for some time spending tonight moored just outside town  . the lion hotel .going back into town tomorrow  for some fresh bread and a look round the charity shop then we may move on or maybe not . We still have to adjust to the mindset of not having to be some where at a set time .

 I have been told " I have to look up cos I cant see over "



This was a very tight fit almost half a mile with only three passing places 


They only made the bridges just wide enough for a seven foot boat and a horse
