Audlem

We did a family walk into Audlem to shop in the Co-op, crossing the newly reopened bridge 80.

It is much colder today and a chap we passed commented “summer is over”.

Back at the marina we have electrical hookup and a water tap at the end of our jetty and two excellent amenity blocks and a laundry. There are also paperback books and DVD’s available to swap or buy with a charity donation. We borrowed “The Butler” to watch for the first use of our DVD player on the boat. Excellent signage in the Ladies loos!

It was frosty on Good Friday morning, which was also Vera’s 5th birthday (2nd April). Darrol the engineer arrived at 09:00 and fixed all of the latest problems with The Duke. We then did a family walk into Audlem to the Co-op and the hardware shop.

The sun was out as we crossed the recently re-opened bridge 80 where they are just finishing restoring the towpath.

There are some lovely timber lodges here for holiday hire.
