Llangollen in Reverse

Stunning morning!

Today (probably) turned out to be the best day weather wise we’ve had on the canals.

Did I say it was stunning?

With only 2 locks to negotiate, we could all take it relatively easy, enjoying the rural landscape and  basking in the sunshine. What a treat! Showers all round and clean jeans for the first time in a week!

Being a Sunday, and such a warm day, the canal was fairly busy. It was slow going, but very pleasant.

We puttered into Ellesmere about 2pm, a very pretty, tutored style village adjacent to the mere (lake).

A bit of foraging down Love Lane bore fruit, literally!

We sadly missed the Sunday Roast, but a very acceptable fish and chip late lunch / early dinner, sitting in the cocktail lounge in the sun, was more than acceptable.

Washed down with Gin and Tonic!

It was so lovely in he sun, we didn’t even need coats!

A few more kms along the canal found us mooring near the quiet village of Bettisfield.

Shadowland

It was cards, a cheese plate, and Ted Lasso for the evening.

Fan Conversion Therapy

A perfect ending to the day!
