We arrived at Chester on Friday.  Mooring literally at the base of the city walls, also very close to Tesco.  Chester is a lovely city dating from Roman times, with lots of black and white buildings.  Very picturesque.  We walked some way around the walls, looking at the Cathedral and the Roman Amphitheatre.  Our niece Cheryl lives in Manchester, so she came to see us yesterday.  Always good to have visitors.  Today we have moved probably about half a mile.  Not too far, just down a staircase of 3 locks.  Started to rain just as we were deciding to move away.  Not too much though.  So moored again still in sight of the walls of Chester but now we have 8 miles of lock free canal which will lead us towards Ellesmere Port.  Whether will get there tomorrow will depend on how early we set off!  So until then, bye all.
