This morning Sarah and I walked to the train station – it’s less than 10 minutes away so our mooring is ideal.

Sarah then got on her train – the first of three so lots of connections to make. She got a bit more than she bargained for when going to the loo – another gentleman was already in there, but forgot to lock the door when he went in! Oopsy! It was the big round sliding doors too, so half the carriage probably got a good view.

Sarah kept herself entertained on the train by doing some knitting using the supplies purchased the day before – making good progress!

These rather grand lions were outside a hotel near the station. It was a modern looking building and they seemed sadly out of place and a bit lost.

Back on Oliver, the forecast is dry all day so I took the chance to give Oliver a good, and much needed, wash down and polish. Now he’s like a shiny new button 🙂

It was hot work in the sunshine, so I rewarded myself with some ice cream to cool off!

We’ve got new neighbours in front of us who moored up this afternoon; they’re off to Chester Zoo and Ellesmere Port. Sound familiar? Someone had told them that it’s really hard to get there because of all the weed; I think I persuaded them that it’s not that bad.
