Saturday 23rd
June
We
are staying put today and walking up to The Smithy Farm Shop and Tea Room. We set off along the canal and went under the
bridge and up onto the lane. We walked
along there, unfortunately there is no pavement but it wasn't too busy and then
we turned right onto another road which was quite busy but there was a grass
verge so we could get on there out the way of the traffic.

We
turned left onto another lane and the farm shop was there, it was about a mile
from the canal. It was very busy and
when we walked inside it looked really good, well stocked with local bread,
fruit and veg and meat, their own lamb, cheeses, etc. It was all very reasonably priced as well in
fact cheap really compared to a lot of farm shops we have been to.

We
bought plenty of things, then went to the tea rooms and had a drink and a
ploughman’s which was really good, very fresh and good value. We also had an ice-cream called Dreamy Cow
and made in Twycross, Leicestershire and very good it was too.

| Ploughmans Lunch |
There
are a couple of other shops there as well, a craft shop and a card shop and one
selling wood burners.
We
then walked back to the boat with our goodies.
We are staying here tonight and are going to have a BBQ for tea as weather forecast is good, although its not
too sunny at the moment but it is warm so hopefully the sun will come out
later, then moving on tomorrow.
