Saturday was cleaning day and I spent the morning putting things away to where they should be. It is amazing that even though we are not working and have time to keep some order nothing ever is in its place. When we moved into the boat, I had an order, a system of where stuff would go, however, as time has past things have moved and it is only when you tidy do you find the 3 bottles of shower gel or the 4 packets of headache tablets which you never knew you had.
I recall whilst I was at work always being unorganised and taking a day off work to tidy with the resolution that I would ensure that I would keep it as is, sadly a day or so later the socks no longer matched and the pots and pans where all over the place and you end of living in a constant disorganised mess.So currently we have a tidy boat, well at least for a day or so.
In the afternoon, we walked to the local Spar, this is just under an hour walk down little county lanes and over a couple of fields. We took the bus home as it looked like rain and we just got in before the heavens opened.
Sunday after a lazy morning we walked to Chirk Castle, it was surprisingly busy with visitors and despite being chilly there were families braving the cold and having their picnics for lunch. We were not so organised and only had an apple each to eat, which we enjoyed whilst watching everyone else tuck into sandwiches, crisps and strawberries.
We were very honoured and happy to have visitors yesterday, Friends on their way back from their honeymoon in Scotland came to see us. We had such a nice time visiting the aqueduct, horseshoe pass and had a lovely meal at the local Indian Restaurant. I would like to thank them for taking time from their honeymoon to visit us, it was very much appreciated and lovely to see them.
We have booked to stay in the marina for another month as we are enjoying the area so much We have made the decision to be in a marina rather than on the towpath mainly as there are not really any 14 day moorings here (mainly 48) and it is secure for when we go out and about. Later this week, we are borrowing a car which is very exciting. We have picked up loads of leaflets for day trips and I am really going to enjoy exploring Wales.
So this blog will take a different direction from an adventure along the waterways of Britain to day trips in North Wales and beyond. .
On a final note, today, we saw a sheep dog herding his sheep, very impressive as I have only seen this on TV . (Pictures are along the horseshoe pass)
