It was lovely waking up this morning to a fresh view of the countryside. A very quiet peaceful night. The sky was threatening rain but thankfully it did not materialize. We stopped briefly at Hartshill it was a steep walk up to the village, a lovely view from the top of the hill the village however was very disappointing. We therefore did not stay too long and moved onto Atherstone. It was a good decision as on arrival we found the little town to be a hive of activity. There was a cider festival , a vintage car show and a flower festival in the church.
We stopped and bought an ice cream from a van which had travelled down especially for the car show from Grimsby where the ice cream was homemade. So here we are in Atherstone eating a Cornish ice cream that was made in Grimsby!
The rain has now arrived as I am sat here writing this, we hope it will not last, tomorrow we have a busy day as we make our way through 11 locks dropping 80 feet in total. Fingers x'd for some sunshine tomorrow.
