Welsh waters: day 17

There was a lot of rain in the night, hammering on the roof.  Adrian was up early this morning, as he was catching a train from Chirk station first to Chester, and then on to Manchester for a conference.  As I did not need to be out the door by 6.15 I stayed in bed!  The rain carried on for much of the morning, so I did a bit of baking.  Then it cleared and the sun came out, so I went for a walk down to the aqueduct.


I then walked through the tunnel rather than over it as there’s a towpath through, and up the canal the other side a bit.  Then I walked into Chirk, had lunch, and came back over the aqueduct again.  I still needed steps, so went up the canal the other way, past the Poacher’s Pocket pub.  It got so warm I ended up having to take off not just my jacket but my jumper as well.

The internet signal remains dire — it occasionally makes an appearance and a load of messages come through, and then completely disappears again.  It’s a shame because Chirk is really nice.
