That's more like it

Normal service has been resumed.

Monday and the sun is shining, clear blue skies as we cross the river Trent.

Motored past Shugborough Hall and stopped briefly at Great Heywood junction to take advantage of the facilities.

Now passing the headquarters of the Christian Boaters Fellowship. (CBF for short)

A lovely lock coming up but a queue of 2 or 3 boats ahead of us. Everyone is moving on after the washout yesterday.

And awkward approach with the lock being immediately after the bridge.

Where there used to be a wooded stretch, now a stretch of des res.

Sheep going home for the night.

Moored up just before Stone on a very quiet length. The trouble is that you moor and others join you - never mind, still a quiet spot.
