Due to various technological difficulties and a lack of Internet signal I have been unable to post a blog for a few days.
My meal in Kinver turned out to be somewhat disappointing, served on a cold plate which meant by the time I was ready for it, half of it it was already called and got left. The gluten-free menu went from bad to worse as every course had gluten containing ingredients down to wafers in his ice cream. Some people obviously need more brains or more training.
We have made it back to the marina with no further incidents, a nice shared trip up the Droitwich barge canal yesterday with some regular hirers whose children got on very well with Kenneth. That was lovely for him to make more friends.
We made it to Stourport and got a good morning and then went to the compulsory fair to spend all his remaining holiday money. He did impress me by going on a very high ride.
We managed to get several jobs done on the boat before we left this morning, and went to look at lock 28 on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal on our way home as Canal and River Trust had emailed saying the lock had a bulge in and could only be passed by vessels of a certain width. We could not see anything nor any notices on the lock. Quite bizarre.
We may well go out for a short cruise next week, but for now the big summer cruise is over.
