Northwich

 

 Here we are at resting Northwich

Well here we are in Northwich its a nice clean mooring, overlooked by a few houses  But thats good it means its a good security aid. 

          Northwich is a strange town, it is going through a strange period in its history  50 Years ago it was a thriving little town with a lovely town center but over the past few years, it has deteriorated.Then the developers moved in, building multi-complex cinema, a large Asda, and many large retail units. the big shops overtook the little man. Now most of the small traders have left leaving a very empty high street and today a large empty retail space However the saddest part of the Northwich redevelopement is one of the best chippies we have found on our travels was the Wayfarer here in Northwich eat in or out always excelent food and service. My only hope is that the guy made enough money for his retirement he deserved it you dont keep a chippy like that for that length of without serving a good product and good service Now I expect the space will be taken up by yet another nail bar of turkish barber and it seems we cannot get enough of them lol 

Its only saving grace is unlike other surrounding Towns Northwich has a Bank, Post office, and a small indoor market which really had seen much healthier days, oh yes it has a fishing tackle shop what eles does a town need,

Maryanne came over to visit us today it was lovely to see her she is hoping to bring the kids next week for a short cruise, And tomorrow we ate expecting Steph and Phil I hope the weather stays good as today had the thunder and a little rain 

 I have nothing else to report as we have not moved anywhere so I will sat by and get this computer charged up 


God bless 

Stay Safe

Gutted to see that the chippy has closed down in Northwich, but at least we got chips with out brunch in the Asda's (every cloud n' all that)! Hope to see you soon, for a cruise with the kids xx

  High everyone  Well the time has come,we will be setting sail for our 2023 cruise next Thursday it's been a long time coming this year almost 2 months behind. I am now beginning to get a little concerned with this beautiful weather we are experiencing by the time we set sail we will be low on water and Canal River Trust will again as usual be sat on their backside expecting everyone to do something but them. I am not going to start complaining about CRT I do that direct to them though I do believe that my mail to them reaches the bin before anyone reads it, All I can say is I have an ongoing Campaign to rule them unfit for purpose. Last year's cruise consisted of two trips to Liverpool which is at best and taking your time only a three-day trip, all because Canal river trust know nothing about canals and definitely nothing about boats and boaters. and what they know about water conservation you could put on the back of a postage stamp. Yet this stupid government has put them

Ferry across Merssey

 Today we decided to go over to New Brighton by traveling on the Ferry from Liverpool to Seacombe and walk the 3 mile to New Brighton along the Esplanade and the Magazine store. Its a lovely walk watching all the boats go in and out of the port, you can imagine how it was in years gone bye with hundreds of boats waiting out in the estuary for their turn to unload. However our walk was done with the wind and rain on our back and almost in our 3 mile walk we only met two other people.  On reaching New Brighton and the rain still comming down in turents we decided to take and early lunch. We found a chippy that in both Menu and decore  was back in the 50s. However food was really good and cheap though Noreen did not apreciate the Pea juice soaking into her Salad? You had best let Noreen explain that one.  After lunch the rain really started to come down, so we decided to take the advice of one of our diners and take the Bus back not just to Seacombe but direct to Liverpool, It was the bes
