Sunday 16th May.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have had a really relaxing day today. This morning Ken and I went for a wander round the town. We did go quite some way out of our way to get there but it was a pleasant enough walk. Congleton is a nice town with all the usual shops, although being Sunday there weren’t many open, which did surprise me a bit. I have taken a few photos\u00a0and you\u00a0will\u00a0see that\u00a0most of the\u00a0interesting buildings are in fact pubs! And no, we didn’t go in them all! In fact we didn’t go in any of them, although the Wetherspoon’s was open! We did go for a coffee and a naughty cake in Costa’s which cost more than our usual lunchtime beer allowance!\u00a0However, all was not lost because we got a huge bunch of bananas, a bag of spuds and a loaf of bread (Hovis)\u00a0in Farmfoods for –\u00a0\u00a32, you can’t argue with that!<\/span><\/p>\n

George made it to the Queen’s Head again this lunchtime. Two days running, he’ll have to have a day off tomorrow! Talking of which, it has been decided that for the 12 lock flight\u00a0I am going to drive and Ken is going to do the locks. I hope there aren’t as many boats about as there have been today\u00a0as I am still\u00a0practicing!<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a very popular place for people, especially\u00a0families, to go for a walk and all afternoon we have been scrutinised thoroughly, mostly\u00a0by children but by\u00a0some adults too,\u00a0gawping straight in our windows! Not just a sneaky glance but a full on stare! In fact a couple of the little darlings practically had their noses pressed up against the glass! Their\u00a0parents didn’t seem to think it was\u00a0rude but I bet they would if this boat was a house, especially their house! You feel like\u00a0leaping up and going BOO! Scaring them witless, bless.\u00a0The joys of living on a boat.<\/span><\/p>\n
