Today was certainly better! We woke to sunshine and it stayed that way all day. Having completed the Audlem flight yesterday we only had 5 locks at Adderley and an easy run into Market Drayton. Most of the locks were set for us so we made good time and moored about noon just before Bridge 63. 

The intrepid boaters

At the top lock of the Adderley flight there is a farm shop stall with an honesty box. Graham was delighted to see that there was homemade cherry pie!

Chris and Tim left in a taxi back to Whitchurch to pick up their car and Graham and I walked into town to buy a paper before spending a very pleasant few hours reading.

The forecast for the week ahead is good. What a marvellous summer we are having.
