The Life of Riley

On a morning like this, it really does seem to be, cruising up the Staffordshire and Worcester Canal with not a care in the world.  During a quick walk to have a look at the first wind turbines to be erected in the district, I chatted to a couple of boat owners, who were both looking forward to what was forecast as a fantastic day around here.

How things changed with torrential showers from lunchtime onwards, turning roads into rivers with the deluge that came down.
