Saturday 26th January 2019



We went into Brinklow for a pub lunch after first walking through the village, a nice place with a nice feel to it. The main street, funnily enough named Broad Street, was very wide for a country village. There was a good mix of buildings of all types and ages.








        

There were two pubs, one was advertised as being under new management but the other looked to be the better of the two. We were perhaps wrong. It would have been a good, friendly local but not for a meal. Fish, chips and mushy peas and pie, chips and mushy peas came to just £4.95 each but it was all out of the freezer and there were kids playing skittles which made too much noise when you were eating.

We called into the second pub on the way back to the boat. The food looked better although much more expensive, the place had obviously been newly decorated but it was characterless.

We made it back to the boat just as it started to rain and the rain got heavier as the day wore on and during the night the wind also picked up becoming a gale.

Everton were live on the tv, they got knocked out of the FA Cup by Milwall. It has always been hard being an Evertonian.



Weather: a nice enough day but rain in the late afternoon becoming heavy. Gales throughout the night.
