Travelled to boat on Friday evening.
Up promptly to visit the Norbury Junction Canal Festival. Went to deliver copies of Shroppie Fly Paper magazine to the IWA branch members staffing our stand.
Had a look round the various stalls and traders. Andrew got a nice leather coin holder and we got fudge and ice-cream. Chatted to the folk on the Shrewsbury and Newport Canal Trust stand: in a similar situation to Stroudwater with a length in water at Newport and only half a mile separating them from the network. But no Heritage Lottery Fund money so stuck - but hopeful...
Then back to Nantwich and away. Late lunch at Barbridge Inn - very busy as the weather so suddenly glorious.
In afternoon, along Middlewich branch to moorings above Church Minshull - fave view.
Cooler evening a relief. Neighbours relaxing over booze - noisy but cheerful.
