Today I dropped Tony off at Pauls fairly early as they were going on a trip to pick up an ebay item. When I got home we had lunch then Dad suggested going to Newport & looking about to get out and enjoy the patchy-weathered day so away we went :] We went a roundabout way to Newport, and checked out a couple of shops while we were there, dad even got a brewery mentioning ceramic plaque. After we got some drinks from B&M we went onto Norbury Junction, a mooring place for canal barges. We simply found a bench and sat in the sun, we decided to sit there until the sun went in, which took a fair while but was fine people watching.
Then we went onto Gnosall via a small explore walk on an old railway/now walking path, then had a small explore round Gnosall, looking at the church and taking pics. We only nearly got rained on once while we were in Newport, so for a day which threatened rain almost constantly it was good!
Edit: I forgot to mention when I wrote this last night: the thatch cottage has a squirrel on top made of thatching stuff, that is this thatchers mark, along with the pattern along the top of the roof. The acorns I took a pic of cause the ones on the left have a bug in them so the oak has made this strange growth on the acorn to try and protect it or something. The acorn on the right is off the same tree for size/normalacy comparison...k done :]
