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, tudor 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.
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.
It was cards, a cheese plate, and Ted Lasso for the evening.
A perfect ending to the day!
