We bid a fond farewell to the Potteries, past the Etruria Industrial Museum that is never open when we are there…

… past the lurid street art…

… past Jones and Shufflebottom, bathroom specialists…

… and past the canal boat with parking for a scooter, and a roof garden.

We returned to Stone, and spent the afternoon doing projects on the boat. We treated ourselves to dinner out in a nice local bistro. Portrait of a cow and a sheep gazed down at our table, so I ordered the lamb shank…

… and Paula had the beef shin with crispy kale.

They can’t intimidate us into eating salad.
