Destination Rugeley

We are really not in any great hurry to return Steadfast to her mooring so we have been gently pootling along in our floating self isolation abode.  This morning we filled the fresh water tank and disposed of rubbish before turning on to the Trent and Mersey canal.
We aimed to stop in Rugeley where there are plenty of supermarkets and top up supplies of fresh food.

 Just through the swing bridge at Fradley

 Approaching Shade Lock

 In Woodend Lock, the third and final for today

 When who did we spot walking a strange dog? Brian Jarrett on his boat Autarky.

 We pulled in behind Autarky, maintain a six foot distance and spent fifteen minutes catching up with each other. His dog, Ghost, crossed the Rainbow Bridge last September at the Grand age of fourteen and Brian was distraught but his new companion, Jessie has lifted his spirits.

Moored at Rugeley where we are one of only four boats here.

I visited Tesco and Morrison's and this is the state of the bread shelves in both stores....
