Bridge 43.
1st

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.
