We had an easy day today; a very enjoyable one. Myra went to buy a paper whilst I separated the anchor, chain and warp aand put them away for another year. In between showers, I removed the plank and washed the roof underneath. We are now in canal mode with a clear and clean roof; soon it will be home to pieces of wood wombled during our travels.
Duncan from ‘Miss D Mena’had telephoned us yesterday, with an invitation from genuine boaters, namely Pauline and himself. We will pick you both up from Tarleton, bring yourselves, your washing and have a bath and a meal with us! How could we refuse? We relaxed in their welcoming company, chatted and enjoyed excellent meals. Thank you.
Tomorrow we will move up to Rufford and look at Rufford Old Hall
Weather – Overcast, with showers.
