My trip
back home went okay and although it was sad, it was nice to have a day to
remember my dad.
At the
weekend there was a food festival in Nantwich so we had a few walks around
there. It was really good and lots of
things to see and taste, gin, cheese, dips, toffee vodka, cakes, etc. They also had cookery demonstrations with
various chefs. We watched one by
Rosemary Shrager, she was very good and a lot of fun and it was all free.

| Nantwich Aqueduct |
Monday –
it was time to move on from Nantwich. We
reversed back to the water point to fill up, get rid of rubbish, etc., and then
we were on our way.
We
chugged back past where we had been moored and over Nantwich Aqueduct and on
along the canal.

It was a nice dry sunny morning and we went
under a few bridges and passed a few boats. I saw a kingfisher flying in front
of the boat and it went into the hedge.
Usually when you pass them they come out and get in front again but to
our surprise it didn’t, it stayed sitting on a branch, I quickly aimed my camera
at it and took a picture before we went past, it was all done in a hurry as I
was expecting it to fly on but somehow I managed to get a good picture.

| Coming into the first lock |
We
chugged on and were soon approaching Hack Green locks, there are two of them.
 |
| Under We Go |
A boat
had just come out so I got off and opened one of the gates as the other was
already open and Kev brought the boat in.

| Coming into the next lock |
We were
soon up that lock and I walked on to get the next lock ready while Kev shut the
gates on the first lock.
These
locks very deep so it didn’t take long to go through the second one. We left the lock and moored in the visitor
moorings between the locks and the next bridge.
We are
staying here for a couple of nights then will chug on for a short distance on
Wednesday.
