Sunday 17th March
Today we went to Lichfield again. It never ceases to amaze me how many times we have to go shopping! Two single tickets on the bus came to £5-60, a massive 40p less than the fare from Alrewas, whoopee do!
We were able to have a better look round the shops than we did last time because the temperature wasn’t sub-zero with a gale force wind. We had to make two attempts to get in to Boots as it was temporarily closed the first time we tried. Don’t know what that was all about.
After we came out of the pub I managed to fall over in the high street! No I wasn’t drunk, honest, I just went off the edge of the path. This wouldn’t have hurt so much had I not have landed on the same knee that I lacerated when I fell over in the park when we were in Derby two weeks ago (didn’t I mention it?) and which hasn’t healed up yet.
Not having looked at the return times for the buses when we got there, we arrived at the bus station to go back rather early but it was quite warm sitting there waiting. Unlike last time when we would have died of exposure had we had to wait more than a few minutes. I was glad of the sit down anyway.
Tomorrow we are probably moving on to Polesworth.
