On Monday morning we dealt with the services again at Anderton, including washing the Boat, as after been moored under trees for a couple of days, it definitely needed a wash. We cruised back to Middlewich, mostly in the rain but was still an enjoyable cruise, (Nic wasn’t so sure!). We did pass a group of Ukulele players in a canalside pub marquee giving a rendition of the Proclaimers 500 miles, that raised a smile.
Mooring up in Middlewich to meet good friends inside the Big Lock pub for lunch on Tuesday. It was lovely to have visitors on the boat for the first time, we had a glass of fizz to celebrate!
The plan was then to drive to Pocklington (“Pock” our home town) on Thursday to see family, however, whilst enjoying a morning cup of tea on Wednesday, Nic spotted that Thursday’s weather forecast was horrible. As we had to do some shopping, unload the boat, do services and move the boat again before being able to drive back to Pock, we decided to change the plans and do all that on Wednesday and drive back to Pock that day.
Roger also got a text from the GP to book his second Covid Jab early, perfect timing, as would be back in Pock.
On the drive back to Pock the van behaved itself, so hopefully all fixed.
After so long, it has been wonderful to see all our families, in person instead of on a video screen.
Those of you who follow on Instagram will have noticed we have not managed to post everyday this week. Also we have not brought the correct cables with us to be able to upload the photos to the blog. We will add them next week.
