Plans: Winsford to take Silver Propellor photos and top up water then back to Northwich. Worked like a charm. Weather dry - fresh breeze at times.
At Hunts Lock asked where we could lose our rubbish - skips on a pontoon off the old BW yard so that was a good job too.
Found a nice mooring opposite Northwich Marina.
Emptied the elsan before having lunch. Andrew, having noticed that the sink in the shower room was emptying very slowly, went to B&Q to find a plunger and flexible brush to clear it out. Bonus, was able to find tiles on sale individually to replace those that have popped off the wall. Meanwhile Alison took the finished books to a charity shop and hunted for replacements - also a nice skirt for Mum a semi-constant awareness of the need for more, bigger clothes.
18:00 Booked for a meal at Northwich's oldest pub - The Bowling Green. Thought at first oh no! No bitter, no pie, no wifi. But food and service super. Andrew had 2 pints of IPA and Alison had Symond's Yat cider. Both had belly pork - Andrew then, surprisingly, had cheesecake and Alison, fudge cake.
