We
are moving today less than two miles though to the Plum Pudding at
Armitage. It is a family run Italian
restaurant and you can moor right outside.
We have eaten there a few times and the food has always been delicious so
we are looking forward to our lunch today!

| Passing the Crown pub |
 |
| Coming to a Railway Bridge |
We
set off along the canal passing The Crown pub and under a few more
bridges. The canal is quite narrow in some
stretches along here but okay as we didn't meet many boats. We chugged past the Armitage Toilet Factory (as seen on Inside The Factory with Greg Wallis) and on around the corner and then we came to the Plum Pudding and moored up.
 |
| Another Bridge |
We
went for a walk before lunch and walked up to Armitage where there is a Londis
shop and Coles family butcher and bakery.
 |
| My Lunch |
We
took our groceries back to the boat and then it was time for lunch. As it was a dry warmish day, we decided to
sit on the terrace by the canal for lunch, so we went in and got a drink, I had
Puerto de Indias Strawberry Gin from Spain.

| Kev's Lunch |
 |
| Kev's Dessert! |
We
decided to have the set menu today and our starters soon arrive, I had Tomato
and Mozzarella and Kev had home made chicken liver pate. Our main courses were chicken breast with
bacon, garlic and chilli and port medallions with a creamy Dolcelatte sauce
with saute potatoes, chips and veg.
 |
| My Lovely Dessert! |
We
were then very greedy and had a dessert as well, I had panna cotta with
homemade shortbread and Kev had chocolate brownie. The food was excellent and we thoroughly
enjoyed it. They also sell eggs which
come from a nearby farm so we bought some of those before we waddled back to
the boat!
 |
| Our Boat from the Terrace |
We
are staying here tonight as I am off back to Weston and Taunton tomorrow for a
few days to help with arrangements for my dads funeral next week and also to
see him to say goodbye. There is a bus
stop right outside the Plum Pudding which goes to Lichfield so mooring here
makes it very easy to get the bus in the morning. Kev will stay with the boat and chug on a few
miles to Wolseley where I can get back the bus back to on Friday.
