      Thanks Eleisha. We are not having a good time of it just now and feel we are marking time. Brenda is very much struggling with the death of a sibling.

Friday 26 th June 2020   We both had a terrible night. It got to 28 ˚ and was airless. Rain started at 4am but it did nothing to cool the place down. The rain stopped as soon as it started but came again before 8am and continued heavily until midday. Once the rain had cleared we walked up into Christleton village. It felt so good to be back out and exploring again, although the church was only open for private prayer on Wednesday and Sunday. The centre of the village was delightful, a pretty village, full of some lovely old buildings. Even outwith the actual centre, there was an abundance of gorgeous properties.                                    St. James Church, Christleton               ...

After bacon butty breakfast we set off later than intended. Another lovely day. Michelle and myself did the locks with Phil and Brenda on the boat. Upsetting at one of the Astwood Locks, to find a dead Mallard duckling in the water. We duly arrived at Hanbury Junction after a slow cruise back, and Phil and Michelle left us at 1:30 for their long journey home. It had been really good to have them with us. A short visit but Phil starts work tomorrow at 4am. Just 40 minutes later, Aaron arrived. We had a long chat, a walk down the Droitwich Canal and Sunday carvery in the Eagle and Sun. Really good value here. Weather: another lovely day.

Thursday 25 th June 2020   After breakfast we walked up to Beeston Castle. It was open but visiting was by prior arrangement only. However, we both enjoyed the walk although it had been hot before 8am and the day just got hotter. We then decided to head for Christleton and resume our exploration of the Shroppie and visit the castle on the return journey. Once down Wharton’s Lock it is an 8-mile, lock-free somewhat boring cruise. The countryside is lovely but there is the 2-mile stretch of privately moored boats at Hargrave to contend with. The algae was not quite as bad as yesterday, but there were numerous floating islands of reed, some completely blocking the canal and had to be pushed gently aside with the boat.                                    ...
