Visiting Droitwich

Walking down the Droitwich Canal

Walking to Droitwich

Vine Park

Droitwich

We are staying put today so decided to walk down to Droitwich.  It was a lovely sunny warm day so we set off down the Droitwich canal, it is a really nice walk past the deep locks and following the canal you come to Vine Park, we chilled out there for a while and watched a boat come through the lock and the swing bridges, then walked on into the town.  It is a nice town with a selection of shops and cafes. We had a wander around, then went for a coffee and got a few supplies in the Waitrose then strolled back up the canal to the boat.  Near the bridge where we are moored, there is a house down the lane that sells eggs and last year also had vegetables and some delicious damson jam, so we walked down there to see if the lady had anymore.  Unfortunately she didn’t have any jam or veg but there was some nice fresh eggs, so we bought some.

We just chilled out for the rest of the day.

 

Thursday 14^th May

The weather was overcast when we got up and it was spitting with rain, we wanted to start how we mean to go on not traveling in the rain if we can help it, so we decided to stay put again today and chug off tomorrow when the forecast is better. We just chilled out for the morning, then decided to go to the pub again for lunch, so we went up and it was really busy.  We decided not to have the carvery today, but try something from the main menu.  Kev had the home made steak and ale pie. With most of the main courses, you could have the 14 vegetables from the carvery,  so guess what Kev had with his pie, he was in his element with all that veg!.  I had the gammon steak with chips and salad, it was all really good and the pie was just full of meat.  We only had room for ice cream after.  Suitably full, we waddled back to the boat and chilled out for the rest of the day.  We are moving on tomorrow, so lets hope the sun is shining!
