An anniversary cruise

We have been further afield in the past and had romantic weekends away in various hotels around the country for our wedding anniversary. We have also spent quite a few of them aboard our various boats.

For our 34th wedding anniversary this year we just timed the engine works to be completed  so we could have a few days aboard.

As usual we got to the boat later than we planned but got off and had a lovely if short cruise to the Wharf tavern at Goldstone. Never one to miss an opportunity to not cook we booked a table and had a nice relaxed meal in the pub.

The next morning saw us make the next short 1 hour cruise to above Tyrley locks after winding. We took a energetic walk into Market Drayton and suitably coffe'd and cake'd up plodded back to listen to the owls calling across the canal...

We needed to be elsewhere on the Saturday so had to plod back to Shebdon in a slowly improving day temperature and weather wise.

Nice to be moving and to explore a bit more .... sadly the cruise was marred (to be expected) by the flatteries giving up the film we were watching as they ran out of steam for the telly. No bother it was the last ten minutes on the laptop (Netflix)

Lilly the cat enjoyed the second nights moorings above Tyrley locks. The pub mooring was too bright for her to go hunting  !!
