This section of the canal is very rural, but there was some "gold" to be found along the way, which of course we had to stop and collect some.
We arrived into Wrenbury just after 11.30.
We spent a lovely afternoon in Nantwich, I have never been anywhere with as many coffee shops - heaven - the weather was beautiful so we were able to sit outside, at a lovely coffesh Enzo's - really lovely lattes :-).
We found a great butchers, a proper fish mongers and a couple of excellent independent wine merchants. The fish monger filleted a wild seabass for me the fillets are massive in comparison to the ones you get at the supermarket! One of the wine merchants was named after Mr B.
As we drove back the heavens well and truly opened it was torrential as we drove into Wrenbury the road was flooded in a couple of places and the drains were struggling to cope, we had fountains shooting up through the manhole covers.
When we eventually got back to the boat, we were just putting the shopping away when there was a tap on the boat, we were really surprised to see Marion, the lady from Ducks Landing that used to moor next to us in Yelvertoft - another small world moment!!! They are also now permanently cruising and were moored about 500 yards in front of us.
The second surprise of the day came, when in the middle of cooking tea, there was another tap on the boat, this time it was Mike. (More to follow later on why).
