What a difference a day makes

Wednesday it was t shirt and shorts, Thursday it was back to the jeans and 3 layers up top!

Selfie, all wrapped up!

Still, it wasn't too bad as well made our way to Sale, though I did have hat and gloves on at one stage. Here are what I think are flood defences installed over the winter, resulting in the canal being closed from November until some time in February. This just before you approach Worsley

I must say that looks mighty tight for a full width boat! If that was tight, then this is shallow

Lunch time

Obviously it pays to stay away from the far side at Worsley. As we went through Trafford Park we saw the first of this year's goslings

and there was plenty of territorial scrapping going on in Stretford between geese and swans. Swans get real aggressive at this time of the year. Anyhow, we made it to Sale yesterday afternoon and found a good spot, Sky dish aligned, short walk to the pub - perfect!

Highlight of the day was the local tramp who took a shine to Elaine. She couldn't get rid of him! He told her he was a survivalist but it looked like he was surviving on roll ups and super strength lager to me.
Leaving Sale this morning all we had to avoid were the rowers

and the walkers had to watch out for low flying branches

All safe and sound in Lymm now though we won't outstay our welcome. We've already been photographed on the visitor mooring by a Peel Holding nazi. 48 hrs only here and the clock is ticking!
