Spend, spend, spend

Friday I worked the 10 locks down from the lovely moorings at Cox Bank to Audlem, mooring by the Shroppie Fly. On Saturday my Aunt Erica from Sussex arrived with her cousins from Shropshire. A lunch on board was followed by a sunny cruise to Nantwich. As we crossed the aqueduct they jumped ship to catch a bus back to Audlem and I moored the other end of the embankment.

Am now in Nantwich Basin. Today had boat service and winter checks, whilst car in Lancashire is having its MOT and service. Walked into town to do some food shopping at Morrisons. Walked to bus station for bus back - and was crept up on by fellow boaters Graham and Lyn who offered me a car lift back to the basin. Enjoyed a cuppa with them before they left - sorry you didn't get to your boat, as you had originally planned but see you later in Ellesmere. It is lovely to walk of an evening from the basin to see who has arrived on the embankment - it is rare not to see someone you know, especially after 11 years of boating!

Tomorrow I bus and train to collect my car while Chris and Mary drive from Suffolk. All being well we will meet in the basin during the afternoon! After that a few days travelling up the Llangollen.
