Hung around in Market Drayton for a week waiting for
Barney to come along and do all the work as planned.
Whilst walking in to town do do some shopping I passed the
funeral parlour which is right next to a car spares
emporium with a sign outside proffering 'Spare Body Parts'.
I don't know if it was a mistake or a deliberate play on
words.
4th Nantwich 7 miles 2 locks
Popped in to town on my way past and managed to get two new Jack Reacher books, I think I have the complete set up to date now. I'll have to wait for the next one to be written.
5th to 28th St Martins 53 miles 33 locks 13 lift bridges
Got on to the Llangollen through the Hurlsdon flight
without mishap and continued on to New Marton via Ellesmere
where I purchased some timber (I like having timber on
board).
Met up with Kath and her new 'other half' and inspected her
window which were in sore need of replacement.
Kaia, now known as Leo was still keeping cats in her cabin
and to be honest it stank to high heaven.
