Kinver

Last night we visited the local hostelry, as shown in the picture. 


We found a very interesting entry on the breakfast menu, shown in the picture below. We are not sure if the bacon causes a rash, or even if this is a correct use of English, but we doubt it.
It made us giggle, and we decided not to risk their breakfast this morning.


The round circular brick construction in the foreground of the picture of the pub, is one of the weirs for the locks on this canal. Very unusual and very picturesque.


The bridge by the lock has its own towpath tunnel, this again we considered unusual, as most of the time that towpath just goes over the road.
Why was it made like this? The horse could not tow the barge whilst in the tunnel.


It is yet another beautiful morning, 


and I decided to walk up to the canal and river trust public conveniences at the permanent moorings, but when I got there, there was a sign pinned on the door saying out of order, apologies for the inconvenience of the closed convenience.

Never mind, and early morning constitutional must be of benefit. Here is a picture of the view that greeted me on my return.
