Chester draws us: Day 5

A nice sunny day, although. Bit chilly to start.  We walked down to Sainsbury’s again, mostly to get a copy of The Times, because it contained the print version of a review of my podcast.  It’s always nice to see pieces in the flesh.


Going there meant we also got a fair number of steps in.  We were meeting my sister and family for lunch in Christleton, so walked up to the village and found our table at the Ring O’ Bells.  My brother-in-law’s mother is in a care home across the road, so they’d been to see her first.  We had a really nice lunch — definitely recommended — then had a little walk round the village.  There’s a green with a pump, and a bit further along there is a pond called the Pit, with almshouses overlooking it.




We wandered back to the boat and had tea.  The family had brought with them a couple of parcels I’d had delivered to their house, including a much needed new pair of boots.

0 miles, 0 locks.  (14 miles, 6 locks)
