December 2019
Although Brenda’s mouth is now uncomfortable rather than painful, and
the swelling largely subsided, she went to the pharmacy in Middlewich Road
while I walked to B&Q’s.
We then moved, hoping to find a mooring at Bramble Cutting, but not
before two boats passed heading in the same direction. Luckily both turned into
Oakwood Marina. We then both started to get quite anxious in case the moorings
at Bramble were full. We need not have worried, the moorings were actually empty
and so we moored right at the Middlewich end where, even if another boat
arrived, we would enjoy an interrupted view from the front cratch.

Cutting
We opened a bottle of Prosecco and spent an hour glorying in the views
until another boat moored. Bramble Cutting has to be our favourite mooring spot
and will always be a special place for us although this time, the ground is saturated and muddy.
The occupants of the other boat did not even so much as acknowledge us
and then moved on after just 30 minutes with a further boat arriving just after.
We had further drinks in the front cratch where we witnessed a
spectacular sunset before dinner and early nights.
Weather: colder, but a lovely clear day.
