Yesterday was due to be a family day at the campsite but the heavens opened and so we took our food to Paul’s mum’s home and the six of us enjoyed a feast that was bought to feed twelve! So when we woke to sunshine this morning it was suggested that we go to Lichfield which was somewhere we’d never been before. We parked the car and walked to the Cathedral after spying it in the distance …
As we turned up a side road it was there in front of us in all its glory …
The dogs weren’t allowed inside so the chaps stayed outside while Jo and I went in. We bought a photography permit and Jo took the photos. Here are a selection of the fantastic shots that she took …
Today the Press were in evidence as it was the first time that the Lichfield Angel had been displayed in a glass cabinet …
When we left the Cathedral Mike went in for a quick look and then we went in search of somewhere for lunch. We found a lovely little place with tables outside and they even supplied water for the dogs …
There were some beautiful old buildings in Lichfield …
Back at the campsite we gathered in the caravan awning for our evening meal. There had been plenty of food left over from the weekend and we’d bought some strawberries for dessert …
Jo doesn’t like fruit but she does like cake and squirty cream!!
After dinner we took the dogs for a walk to the Birmingham and Fazeley canal …
going further than we did last time, reaching lock 9 and the Dog & Doublet …
The sun was going down over the water …
