Stockton Heath

Well this amazing weather is still with us, set fair for the rest of the week according to the forecast. We had a slow and easy cruise from Lymm to Stockton Heath today, letting anyone who caught us up pass us by.

We were certainly in no rush, unlike these guys

charging up the M6 towards Barton bridge. No, we were happy to crawl at a snail's pace to Stockton Heath, watching the green change to gold, leaves falling like snow.

All too soon our destination hove into view and we tied up as usual just before London Road bridge.

We are back there somewhere!

So, it was a 3/4 mile downhill walk to Morrison's, a "big shop", then a taxi back. At least, that was the plan. However, the only taxi firm that bothered to pick up the phone told us they had nothing for at least an hour. So we trudged back bearing all of our provisions in a total of 7 bags! Needless to say, after getting back to the boat a unanimous verdict was delivered - we had earned a pint. 

Elaine leads the way!

So that's us for another day, busy doing nothing. And long may it continue!
