The weather looked bright, but cold so we set off at about 8:00. The autumn leaves looked really good in the sunlight, but we had to frequently clear the prop with a blast of reverse.

In Kidderminster we stopped outside Sainsbury’s to do the shopping for the week’s food. Also a trip to The Range to look for Christmas presents.

Then over to the mooring by the church to stop for a full English breakfast.

We arrived in Stourport just before 2:00. Part of the reason for the trip was to touch up some paintwork that had got damaged on the York trip, but it was too cold. Paint doesn’t flow well below about 10°C so we did some general tidying up and then went for a short walk.

In the evening Andrew & Sheila joined us for a meal and a natter.
