November 8th – another day of drizzle, poor light, mist and damp commuting. My day was again, somewhat miserable, but the trains ran almost, mot not quite, to time. It’s really hard to get good photos in conditions like these, but speeding along the Lichfield Road at Summerhill, near Muckley Corner, I spotted the Boat Pub, lit up and inviting. I didn’t pay a call, but it was very temping. It’s called the boat due to the canal that used to run alongside, and may yet do so again, with enthusiasts fighting to restore the Lichfield and Hatherton Canal to it’s former glory.
