Going up!

Goodness how warm and sticky has it been today!!!

We decided to get out in the fresh air, not that we found any ;-) As I had such a nice time at the Anderton Boat Lift when I was fortunate enough to see Pru & Timothy, hub suggested he would like to see it for himself, so off we went.

It was almost lunch time when we got there, not so busy as we expected, some families, but not heaving :-) After coffee and a toasted sandwich we watched a few boats coming and going, including one of their own day trip boats. As people got off, it was obvious they were a "group", all wearing red tee shirts. Turned out that they were members of Astley Brass Band. We overheard a conversation, saying they were playing around 2.30 down by the exit from the Lift. How lucky, again, so obviously we hung around to listen to them, they were really good! A shot of them in extras.

We popped back to the cafe for a cold drink before dropping my bag and camera off at the car, then heading into Marbury Country Park for a longer walk. We clocked up our 10k steps and headed back along the towpath.....a lovely day, except for the tedious M6 yet again :-/

Best go get myself ready for camera club this evening, a cool shower for me I think ;-)
