A good pub

We'd planned to stop at Lyme Green again on the way back from Poynton, but a chance to rendezvous with Peter and Jan made us decide to carry on to the Royal Oak swing bridge and meet them for lunch at the Fool's Nook. It's a very long time since we ate there, and we were very pleasantly surprised at hte improvement.

Decent beer and interesting food has, admittedly, left us feeling rather dopey this afternoon, but it was still a good move.

Apart from that, it's been a day for straightforward boating; it was Sheila's turn, and she had to wrap up well to cope with a very cool wind, but otherwise enjoyed bright sunshine for most of the time.

Tomorrow, we'll make an early start and plan to get down Bosley and on to the Congleton Aqueduct by lunchtime.
