Quiet Sunday

As expected, it was a merry night last night, though we were comparatively abstemious in the matter of alcohol. Bill and Eileen are always good company, and it was eleven o'clock before they tore themselves away.

With no particular plan in mind, we took our time getting up this morning, though the weather was very tempting, being wall to wall sunshine. We ambled into Great Haywood to get a paper, but were frustrated in this. Neither of the shops had a copy of the Independent on Sunday, though it was still only around nine o'clock.

No matter, the walk had been very pleasant, and it made sure we'd got our two miles in for the day.

For the rest, we've been loafing on the boat, reading and dozing in the sunshine and chatting to passers-by on the towpath.

I have taken some time to tweak the design of the blog pages. Thank you to all those who have commented, especially Davidss, whose comments had a professional ring to them. I've increased the saturation of all the text colours, and changed a couple of the ones used for hyperlinks. I've also increased the size of the body text from 14 to 16 point, since a couple of you said that you found the text a bit small.

Hopefully this has improved readability, but do feel free to comment further folks.

We plan to stay put tomorrow,  then head back towards Alrewas, arriving on Thursday to meet up with Elanor and Sally. I'll see if I can get Sally to do a couple of posts over next weekend, but I'm told that she's feeling very weary after a busy day yesterday at an agility demo.
