....took the camper van to Staffordshire, and camped in a field outside Eccleshall, by the side of the canal at a little tiny and very outside fashioned pub.
5 babies squashed in together yesterday, they were only at shoulder height but not scared of us at all.
This morning there was only 4....
...... but none of them were in a rush to leave and the parents were still flying in and out to feed them, and apparently they all go back at bed-time.
Went for a long walk along the canal, took a "short cut" along a road, and enjoyed walking FAR further than we intended. We didn't hear a peep out of the dog last night, and he is still pretty dopey today.
Today has been lovely so we did a bit of exploring, around Eccleshall and Stone. Had a picnic on the canal bank another walk to admire the barges...
....lots of them were for sale, including this one which was just an empty metal shell. Darsh was sure he would be able to make something good out of it!
Home now and it has started to rain.
ohhhh dad! buy a barge! remember when we got kicked off ebay because I bid for one and won?
