Last night we went outside after dark to see if we could see any shooting stars, because of the meteor shower. We saw a few, although most were quite feint. This morning was another sunny one, and we set off a little before 10.
We were only going to the bottom of Audlem Locks, so wanted to arrive when people who were going had left the moorings, and others hadn’t yet stopped for the day. It turned out there was loads of space, so we went up to the very first mooring ring before the winding hole. That’s us on the right.
We walked up into the village, which is very pretty and well supplied with shops, and went to the Co-op and the butcher. We have guests for dinner this evening: George and Carol (ex Rock’n’Roll and Still Rockin’) are coming over as they live fairly near by.
This afternoon we’ve been doing bits of prep for tonight but have mostly been trying to keep cool as it’s really hot again. We moored without turning around so the galley and dinette windows would be out of the sun, and the side doors would be on the water side.
2 miles, 0 locks. (8 miles, 2 locks)
