Thursday 30 May
We have an easy day today so it was nearly 9.00 when we set
off. Before we left we saw a flotilla of
Canada geese.

We made our way through the Potteries to the five Stoke locks
at Etruria passing a couple of the old bottle kilns. The few remaining ones are
presumably protected, but they do not seem to be very well looked after as they
all have plants growing in them which can’t be doing the brickwork any good.
The Etruria Festival is this coming weekend, so we met
boats making their way there. Just one more lock, Trentham Lock, before we
moored in Barlaston at 12.30. We had lunch and then walked to the shops to
stock up a little as Steve is going to be on his own for two or three days. The
rain that had been threatening all morning never really arrived. We treated ourselves
to a meal at the Plume of Feathers as we had so enjoyed our visit there a few
weeks ago.
