Monday 13th
to Monday 20th May
Monday – We didn’t do much, just a few jobs and went to the
butchers in the village and the local shop.
We had a coffee in one of the cafes and then moved across to the tables
outside the Chocolate Shop and Post Office for an ice cream as they sell Snugburys
which is great ice cream.

| Lots of Things at Dagfields |
Tuesday – In the afternoon, we walked up to the marina and
had a coffee in the café, it’s a nice walk and a very nice marina and
café. In the evening, Jane came to tea
and we had a lovely time eating, chatting and drinking gin!

Wednesday – We went to Dagfields Antique and Craft Centre
with Tony and Sheila and we had a lovely day looking around all the units full
of antiques and bric-a-brac. It is a massive place and lots to see. There are two cafes, so we had coffee in one
and lunch in the other. Tony and Sheila
are great to be with and we had a lot of laughs. We spent about five hours there and could
easily have stayed longer, it was a great day.

Thursday – Tony took Kev to B&Q to get some wood and I
stayed with Sheila. Kev texted me when they were leaving B&Q and then
Sheila and I walked down to the canal and met them by the pub. Kev loaded up his trolley and off we went
back to the boat. Kev then spent the
afternoon cutting out personalised picture frames ready to sell.

| Powells Pies |
Friday – We got the bus to Whitchurch. It is a really nice town and we spent a good
few hours browsing the shops and the small market. There is a lovely café which is in a very old
building with beams and low ceilings so we had lunch there. There is also a
pork pie maker called Powells and they make the pies with wooden dollies, the
old fashioned way, you can watch them in
the their shop, so we called by there and obviously bought a couple. We then walked to the Lidl and up the hill to
where Jane’s works. She finishes at 2pm
so when she had locked up, we went for coffee in a nearby café then she drove
us back to Audlem. In the evening, we
went to Jane’s house and Dave and Anthea came as well and we all had a Chinese
takeaway which was really good. Malcolm
joined us later when he finished work.
It was a really lovely evening.

Saturday – We got the bus to Nantwich as Kev had to pick up
his new glasses from Specsavers. There
was an Antiques market in the square so we had a look around there and also got
some other shopping. There is a café in
a bookshop which we call the Library so we went there for refreshments and it
was good as always. We got the bus back
and then just chilled out.

| Footpath across the Field |
Sunday – We didn’t do much today apart from a bit of tidying
up and Kev did some more work on his personalised names, painting and sanding
down.
Monday – We went for a walk in the morning across the field
and did a cache on the way. The path led
to the village and we went in the Butchers to get a few things and then to the
Co-op, then back down the towpath to the boat.
In the evening, we went for a meal at the Lord Combermere in the village
with Jane, Tony and Sheila for Sheila's birthday which was yesterday and we had
a lovely evening with great company and very good food. We said goodbye to them as we are moving on
tomorrow but will be back in July. We
have really enjoyed being with our Audlem family again having days out, eating,
drinking and spending time together, it is always a lot of fun so can't wait to
do it all again soon.
