Cool news about the Americas Cup race and even better news about no rain today!
Today was less about narrowboats than a visit to the Wedgwood factory where se saw around the factory, various exhibitions and got to throw a pot ourselves. John was very helpful and we all (except Mary) had a go.
The whole experience was so much better than we expected and a great deal of fun. You'd still not want to buy any but as an educational and fun day out it would be hard to improve on.Dinner at the Star Inn in Stone, a "superb traditional lockside pub, which apperenty dates from the 14th C and is one of the oldest on the waterways, where none of the rooms is on the same level (as noted in the Guinness book of Records)"
