We are off on the Charabang today to Newport and then to
Stafford as we can get a Midlands Saver ticket for £6.20 each which enables us
to visit both places.

We walked up to the bridge to get the bus and after a short
bus ride, we were at Newport, we haven’t been here before so it was nice to
have a look around. It is a very nice
town with a variety of shops and a nice church, St. Nicholas but unfortunately
it wasn’t open so we couldn’t have a look inside.

We found a nice café for elevenses and then decided to go
and get the bus to Stafford. We have
been to Stafford once before but it was nice to go again as this is a nice town
as well.

| Soup Kitchen |
We went to the Soup Kitchen for lunch which is in a 16th
Century building and a really nice place.
We had a lovely lunch, they have their own bakehouse so for my dessert I
had a fresh home-made scone with jam and clotted cream and it was absolutely
delicious!

| St Mary's Church |
There is a really nice church in Stafford called St Mary so
we had a look in there, it is very nice and then we strolled around the shops
and got a few supplies.

It was rather overcast when we set out this morning but the sun
came out this afternoon so that was nice.
We got the bus back to Gnosall late afternoon.
We had a really nice day today visiting Newport and
Stafford, both are really nice towns and we will certainly visit them again
when we are in this area.
We are staying in Gnosall tonight then chugging on tomorrow.
The Soup Kitchen sign ties in nicely with you having been past the old Hovis Mill at Macclesfield.
