| Cheswardine Church |
 |
| Hound in the Pub |
 |
| Fox Hiding Away |
Saturday – We didn’t do much just went for a
walk in the afternoon up to the village of Cheswardine. There isn’t much there, a
few houses, a nice church and a pub. We
had a look in side the church then went to the pub. It is a Joule’s Brewery pub and they have
carved hounds heads dotted around the pub and each has a name. There is also a carved fox but he is harder
to find as he is tucked away but we found him.
When we walked up it was dry but while we were in the pub the heavens
opened and it poured down. By the time we had finished our drinks it had
stopped so we decided to try and get back in the dry and we almost made it, it
was just starting again as we got to the boat so we didn’t really get very wet which
was good.

| Off We Go |
Sunday – We met our friends Dave and Anthea
for lunch in the pub, the Wharf Tavern, opposite where we were moored. We all had the Sunday Roast and superb it was
too. Dave and Anthea then came back to
the boat for a drink and ginger cake which I made as it is Dave's
favourite. We had a lovely afternoon
with them chatting and laughing. When
they were ready to go, we walked them to their car and said our goodbyes
although no doubt we will see them again soon.

| Sun Coming Through the Trees |
 |
| Many Moored Boats |
Today (Monday) we are on the move just a few
miles and the sun was shining as we set off but quite chilly this morning.
We passed a long line of moored boats and
went under several bridges. We met one
or two boats coming the other way but the canal is generally very quiet now.

| Nice Views |
 |
| Lovely Autumn Colours |
 |
| Mushroom in the Hedgerow |
We went on for a few miles and moored up
just before Bridge 47 in a very quiet spot.
We lit the fire as it was chilly and soon the boat was nice and toasty.
We just chilled out in the afternoon and
decided not to go for a walk today but sit in the warmth by the fire.
We are staying here tonight and then moving
on a bit further in the morning.
