| Geese coming through bridge |
It was sunny again today, but blowing a hoolie as we set off, we
stopped just before the Middlewich
Junction to fill up with water.
We chugged on up the canal , quite a few boats coming down and a family of Geese who demanded right of way through the bridge hole so we obliged and let them through! We moored at
Calveley at the visitor moorings, they are nice sunny moorings just after
Bridge 104. Had lunch, then as it was a
nice sunny afternoon, walked up the canal to the Bunbury Staircase locks and
watched a few boats going through there, then walked up the road to see if we
could find Bunbury Mill as last time we were here, we couldn’t find it, we didn’t
walk far enough, but this time we found it.
It was closed as it only opens on Sundays, but we had a walk in around
to see if we could see the water wheel, but couldn’t, so walked on up the road
to Bunbury. There is a lovely 14th
and 15th Century Church and opposite the Church is The Dysart Arms
pub, it looked really nice so we went in for a drink. It was about 3pm and we expected it to be
quiet, but it was really busy, a sign of
a good pub. It had a really nice
feel and was done out really nice
inside. We sat in the garden which was
very sunny and as we were sitting there, a thrush came and landed right on the
table, then hopped around the floor right by us, what a surprise, you don’t see
many thrushes these days, but for one to be that tame and for it to come so
close was really nice. It then got
chased away by a blackbird.

We walked back down the road to the staircase locks and a few more
boats were coming through and a lot of them had no idea about how to work a
staircase lock, even though there are clear notice boards how to do them, boaters what are they like!! Chatted to a nice man who lives in Nantwich and often comes out to the locks
for a walk, then we walked back to the boat and chilled out. We are staying here tomorrow as well, then moving
on again on Friday.
