OK, so Stratford does have its moments when you wake up in your boat in the middle of town on a gloriously sunny morning. With a food festival and various food markets open today I think the locals were outnumbering the tourists for a change. After some more shopping we set off back up the locks, only just fitting under some of the bridges with the water tank empty, so just as well we're still carrying those old batteries.
As we stopped to take on water a particularly engaging family of ducks arrived to relieve us of some bread bought for this very purpose. Supremely confident, they came closer and closer until the inevitable happened and in the excitement a finger was mistaken for food. Nothing more from us after that, but they soon spotted another opportunity. After a cool and windy, but gloriously sunny day, we moored at Wilmcote for a generously proportioned dinner in the Masons Arms.
