| Coming to Wood End Lock |
The sun was
shining this morning when we got up, but there was a chilly wind. We set off along the canal and soon came to
Wood End lock which has a nice cottage next to it. The lock is not very deep so we didn't take
very long to get through and on we went.
We travelled
a few miles and then we were passing the Plum Pudding where we had a lovely
meal last week. Not far from there is
Armitage tunnel which is very narrow and no room to pass, so I got off the boat
and walked along there to see if it was clear and it was, so Kev came through
on the boat and I got back on and we chugged on a short way past the tunnel and
moored up near where we had moored on the way down.

We then set
out to find the computer place. We did
go the wrong way first but then headed in the right direction and soon found
it. It was in an office building, so we
went into the reception and a chap called Joe came out to see us.
We told him what had happened and he said he
would take a look and get back to us and said there would be no problem in
retrieving my photos, he was very nice and friendly and seemed to know what he
was talking about so we left the laptop with him.
We saw on Mr
Google there was a co-op not far away so we went to find it, and it wasn't far
away in an area called Brereton and Ravenhill.
We walked through a park and apparently there used to be a colliery
there. We found the co-op and got a few
supplies then walked back to the boat via the canal towpath.
We will be
staying here now a few days until the laptop is fixed.
