Walked into Elworth this morning to go to church with Matthew and Gail for All Age Worship at St Peters Church. A fairly full church with a number of families there.
After church, M&G suggested that we go for brunch with them. So, in the car and off we go to Crewe. I didn't realise how close to Crewe we were but, of course, transport does play its part.
It's strange that when you're on the cut you feel as if you're miles from anywhere and cut off from civilization. Look through the bushes and there's a whole new world out there.
We were fortunate enough to see the Knife Angel which is on a national anti violence tour of the UK. It is a 27' tall structure created entirely from 100,000 seized knives and blades taken from the streets of Britain and it is hoped to inspire social change.
We then crossed the road and into Crewe Market Hall which has a selection of street food outlets. Order what you want from where you want and the food and drink are brought to your table.
Because of the presence of the Knife Angel there was also a programme of entertainment including a dance group. All very lively and entertaining. Well done Crewe.
After brunch, back to the boat, a quick change of clothes, cast off and move along to Wheelock to top up with water, empty the loo, dispose of rubbish and sort out the recycling. Phew! Picked up a mooring just before the first lock which is the start of what is known as 'heartbreak hill'. A total of 26 locks before we reach Harecastle Tunnel. And all that in the space of 7 miles. We'll have our work cut out tomorrow.
Still, roast pork tonight, that should set us up OK.
