We spent the day at Drayton Manor Park. Or as it was in my day: Drayton Manor Park and Zoo. The emphasis today is on the theme park although the zoo is still there, almost hidden behind the theme park. We all enjoyed the day. Everybody is tired and we expect to sleep well. It's a great venue to visit by canal. There's plenty of space to moor by the gothic footbridge and although we had to cross the busy A4091 most of the traffic was stationary, waiting to get into the theme park.

Cathy had to take Arrow to the vet in Tamworth in the afternoon because his left fore-paw is giving him some discomfort. He's got a seed lodged under the skin between his toes. The vet couldn't remove it but it will probably work loose. We have some antibiotics to give Arrow to keep the infection under control.

Moored tonight near Drayton Bassett. We moved half an hour away from lat night's mooring to get away from the traffic noise.
