We saw out the weekend at Middlewich and then today moved off back here to Church Minshull. Although the forecast was for it to be very cold, it was not that unpleasant travelling today. There was virtually no wind, consequently no wind chill factor, so cruising was OK. Not much new I can say about this bit of canal since we’ve been along it about 4 times so far this winter, still much the same.I do like this mooring at Church Minshull though since the view from the boat window is very pleasant.

We moored up quite early today (just after 1.00pm) so I took the opportunity of a leisurely afternoon to cut up some wood for the fire. I have now sawn up most of the original pallets that I got back in November and have about 2 nets and a basket or kindling for firelighting. There is still one more pallet top on the roof, currently under the coal, to be cut up and then we will have used all of the pallets, we’ll just have to see if it lasts us until the weather warms up (end of next month hopefully!).

The forecast for tomorrow is for snow, we’ll see.
