June 8th – After all the rain, the canal overflow at Clayhanger Bridge was flowing well. Haven’t seen it this heavy since Chasewater was drained. I love the sound of the water here – it’s really relaxing. A very pleasant thing indeed.

July 7th – After taking lunch in Pelsall (the principality border guards were napping) I popped into Lichfield to get some shopping. After getting soaked, the sun came out and made for a warm, summery afternoon. Passing the new junction on Pipe Hill, I noticed that Maple Hayes – now a school for children with dyslexia – was beautifully framed by the countryside around it. Maple Hayes was once the source of water for Lichfield, a very early pipe from which appeared in Cathedral Close and gave name to Conduit Street.
