Brenda wanted to go and see Packwood House, a local National Trust property about 2 miles from Jannock’s mooring at Lapworth. We knew that Brian and Diana on nb Harnser were heading down this way and that they would like to come to so Graham rang them and arranged to pick them up from the nearest bridge to their overnight mooring.
Packwood House is a fantastic old building that started as a farmhouse and was then improved with additions as well as being fitted with a lot of architectural features purchased from other houses and estates in the area. It’s definitely worth the visit just to view the house but the gardens were excellent too. Graham liked the ‘little grey fergy’ in the children’s play area.
House visited, tea drunk and garden walked we dropped Brian and Diana back at their bridge and returned to Jannock, After a spot of lunch I set off in the car to take it to Brinklow marina for safe keeping while we are away. Returning to Lapworth on the Di Blasi I arrived just before nb Harnser did.
In the evening we went to the Navigation pub for an excellent meal.
