Saturday 4th
May
Today we are off down the Audlem locks, probably doing 11
today and hopefully mooring before the last two locks.
It was a dry morning and the sun was out, but
boy was it cold, more like December than May.

Little House on the lock |

Starting down the flight |
There was a boat in front of us going down the locks, so we
waited for them to leave the lock, then we filled it back up and soon we were
into the next lock.
The flight was very quiet and no one came behind us and we
only met two or three coming up.
|
Lots more to do |
|
On down the flight we go |
|
The Shroppie Fly Pub |
We worked our way down and unfortunately most of the locks
were against us, so we had to fill them up before we could go in.
It is a nice flight of locks so we don’t mind
doing them and after a couple of hours we were coming to the Shroppie Fly pub
and hopefully the last lock for us.
|
Nearly Down |
I checked the moorings below the lock and there was spaces
so we went through the lock and moored up in the visitor moorings.
|
Little Harry |
In the afternoon, we walked to our friends Jane’s
house.
Their little dog Harry who comes
and stays with us was very pleased to see us especially Kev.
He is a lovely dog and full of beans and
likes to play, it was so lovely to see him again and Jane of course.
Our other friends who live locally Dave and
Anthea turned up, so great to see them again and we had a lovely afternoon and
evening together catching up and having lots of laughs.
Jane did us all a great buffet tea and had
made one of her delicious Victoria sandwich cakes so of course we had to have a
piece of that!
Unfortunately we didn't
get to see Malcolm again as he was working and didn’t finish until after 11pm!
