Get Together

Day Trip
Narrowboat day trip from Middlewich Narrowboats.
What gorgeous weather!? How lucky were we?
We decided to go towards Northwich along the Trent and Mersey Canal, so the first thing was to turn the boat around, and then approach the locks.
There was a bit of a breeze which was good as the weather had been extremely warm.
There are quite a few overgrown sections along this stretch of the canal.
Quite a few boats on the canal.
Stopped for lunch at Wincham - what a spread - lots of lovely food.
On the way back there was a boat across the canal we thought someone was trying to turn around but then we realised that there was no one on board and it had come adrift from its mooring.
We saw dragonflies and kingfishers.
We had to be back for 6pm so we made sure we had plenty of time to go back through the locks in Middlewich.
Plumley Station Walk
Sunday 22 June
Jane, Hilary, Carol and Tracey
WET WET WET!!!!!
The weather forecast was for rain I decided on a local walk so that we could get home easily if necessary. I was also lucky to find a walk that could be done as half a walk especially as we were likely to get very wet. It was like a figure of eight with the middle of the walk returning near to the station so we could pick up the car if very wet.
The forecast was right and it rained! We had our waterproof trousers so we put them on from the start. (Carol had forgotten her boots so Phil brought them).
We started the walk from the road in wet grass so some of us had wet feet. Does that mean new boots or better cleaning?
As we were walking in the rain it was difficult to know where to stop for lunch. We looked around the church in Plumley but there was no where to sit. So we sat on the bench near the shop on Plumley Moor Road and ate our lunch.
The rain stopped so we continued with the second half of the walk.
We weren't sure where to stop for tea and cake, we passed the Plantation garden centre and realised that they advertised a cafe so we went in.
