Lottie D is a 57' cruiser stern narrow boat named after our daughter Charlotte. With us both finally retired it's time to record our life on the canal network.

At the end of the day



Here we are, still at Church Minshull for what will be our third night. We will be staying tomorrow too but, alas, will have to move to Middlewich on Sunday if we want milk on our cornflakes. We absolutely love this spot and will definitely be coming back next year. Today, we sat out all afternoon just gazing out over the Weaver valley before enjoying a nice circular walk to The Badger for a quick pint and to book a table for tomorrow. It turns out the pub is aptly named judging by the number of badger setts we walked past as we returned to LottieD through the woods.
On the way back, Elaine missed her step off a stile, had her shoe fall off then grazed her leg as she stepped into nettles barefooted. Quite funny, but not in the same league as her earlier combat roll when she stood - then slipped off - a cushion as she was hanging out the washing. She went down so fast, I was looking for a sniper on Bridge 12! It was a salutary lesson to both of us, her to watch her step, me to keep my iPhone handy!
