I moored at Barbridge after the towpath telegraph mentioned a beer festival at Nantwich. Mind you Barbridge was busy enough. The clincher was that I could get the bus to Chester from close by. Saturday came and the predicted rain held off. I spent the day in Chester walking the city walls and looking in all the unique shops. There was one shop that was an outlet for artists and makers. It's an Aladdin's cave and definitely worth a browse.
Today I cruised down to Nantwich and it really was jammed with boats. I didn't need to stop so continued on to Audlem. A highlight of today was the little water vole swimming across the canal. It was so sweet. The Mill at Audlem sells all sorts of sewing paraphernalia and it was fun to look around. They also have lots of canal related books. Several nice little shops here: a deli, butchers, gift shops, etc. Also a Co-op for the necessities. We didn't get much rain today either. Hurrah. Mind you it is getting colder at night now.
