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.

Time to get me kex on

Yes it was away with the shorts and on with the jeans today. And a fleece top. And a woolly hat as we went through the twisty Salterford and Barnton tunnels.
They may look straight, but they ain't!

A straitforward day, really. We don't "ooh" and "aah" when we see jays and herons anymore as they are getting to be a regular sight. We even saw 2 kingfishers yesterday but I can't see us getting blasé about them just yet.
The only thing out of the ordinary was the workmen we encountered just after Acton Bridge but it was no drama, just hover in the centre of the canal until they give you the all clear.
Having filled up with water at the services near Anderton Marina we planned to stop at Marwood Country Park. Alas, no Sky signal so it was on to the Salt Barge pub (excellent by the way). Alas, no signal there either so it is either a DVD or terrestrial TV tonight.
Finally, take a look at our winter clothes drying solution - it worked a treat!

Tomorrow we hit Middlewich and the Blue Ginger Indian restaurant. Can't wait!
