You could well meet Cosmo and Daquiri, the two charming retrievers and residents of the Doggie Boat – I fell in love with these guys in 2016!

Here’s a heads up to an event that’s running all weekend down in Tamworth, one that I enjoyed very much last year – the Fazeley Junction floating market.

It’s basically a gathering of canal boats selling crafts, food, drinks and ever pet products, all around the beautiful canal junction at the heart of Fazeley, just off the old A5 at Tamworth.

Opening hours are 10am until 5pm on Saturday, Sunday and Monday (27-29th May 2017).

You can find out more (including a map of how to find the place) at the Canal and River Trust event page here.

What’s not to love, eh?

The Canal and River Trust said of the market:

A family day out & fun for everyone when you come along and support The Roving Canal Traders Association, browse the vast array of goods & hand crafted items on sale from the boats of our very clever traders.

Learn about how people live and work on the canals.

For more information follow @canaltraders on Facebook & Twitter or visit the website here.

If you pop down, why not send in some pics? Mail me: BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com. Cheers!

There are cakes and other food, crafts, ephemera, all kinds of things, all in a lovely waterside environment. See you there?
