The canal is still frozen, but the forecast is for warmer weather and the ice looks like it’s starting to melt.

No cruising so a walk today. Up the towpath to just above Woverley Court lock, then across the footbridge and via a footpath into the village of Wolverley. Had a look round the church, a very nice brick built, Italianate design, but with later addition of a mock Tudor porch which looks completely out of place.

We had a cup of tea in the little teas rooms by the lock and then back along the towpath to the moorings at Roundhill Wharf, about 6 miles in all and very pleasant on a cold, but dry morning.
