At the end of a very warm day in June, I set off from Shugborough to Great Haywood, turning there onto the Staffs & Worcester canal because from there down to Autherley is a section of canal I've never done before. I moored at Tixall Wide - beautiful - and then headed on around Stafford before being perplexed at what people have at the end of their gardens in Acton Trussell.

It's been pointed out to me that the mannequins might be something to do with this: theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2019/jun/18/the-circus-and-freddie-mercury-scarecrows-in-staffordshire-in-pictures
