We went for a longish walk in the morning. Along the towpath north out of Kidderminster then we went across the river Stour via Puxton’s marsh to just short of Wolverley. I knew that there was a footbridge over the river just above Wolverley Court lock and we were heading for that. The marsh lived up to it’s name and it was very wet underfoot!

We came back on the canal towpath and called in at “Range” on Carpet Trades Way. It was packed with Christmas shoppers. We bought some jigsaws (puzzle variety) for presents.

By the time we got back Heddi was going downhill with her cough/cold, so we abandoned the planned trip to M&S for more presents. A good job we did as we went on Monday instead and benefited from the cut in prices due to the VAT rate change.
