Friday 16^th August

Well we are now at Stoke on Trent.  Arrived here this morning.  Yesterday was a busy day, starting at 8.30 we worked 15 locks.  Phew.  Lucky with the weather, what started as a grey damp day cleared up to blue skies and sun.  So mooring at Kidsgrove we thought we would go for a walk.  Just on our way back when the heavens opened!!  We had to shelter in the pub!  So today just one lock then a long tunnel at Harecastle.  We are now moored by Westport Lake and within walking distance of Aldi!  Again the sun is shining.
