Car retrieval

Having checked out the route yesterday, this morning we walked to Lichfield Trent Valley station to get a train first to Crewe and then on to Nantwich to get the car. 




The car has been looked after by our friends Billy and Sheila near Hurleston Junction. We walked up the towpath to their house and had a very nice lunch with them. 

While we were there, we had a call about the fabric we chose months ago for the new boat. It seems the upholstery people are having trouble getting it. Bill and Sheila suggested going to a big fabric place in Chester to see what they had — so we ended up heading off up there, the opposite direction to where we really wanted to be going. Anyway we found a couple of possible choices, and then headed back south to Kings Orchard.
