We are at Nantwich now. Thankfully we didn't get the flu in Birmingham as there was an outbreak of swine flu affecting school children while we were there. We are having a lay day today and catching up on boat maintenance, reading and surfing the web. The sun has been brilliant today so we will finally get the washing dry and crisp. The countryside is fresh and clear and even the canal is cleaner. Yesterday we only got some old rope and a few bags out of the weed hatch after mooring up between the aquaduct and the basin.
We did a walk to the town and just had to check out some of the ancient pubs, the semi-wooded style is timeless and inside one, Curshaws, they have extended one side about 10 ft with thick glass walls and ceilings supported by stainless steel pipe framing making an interesting and functional juxtaposition of old and new. Yes, thats a baby grand piano on the mezzanine.
Opps, looks like rain better get the washing inside. Bob and Jen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nantwich
