During the morning we took a walk past the lock where a boat was selling 2nd hand books to the Anglo Welsh boatyard to enquire about pumping out the toilet. Although we didn't really think it would be full it was the first time we'd used the boat for any length of time so wanted to be safe than sorry. They said they had a few turn-arounds to do today but it would be quieter on Sunday.
We then walked to the farm shop and were amazed how much bigger (and smarter) it had got since we'd been there a year before. We even remember commenting how little local produce they sold before but now almost everything is local.
We bought a few bits and pieces and took a walk back to the Clifford Arms for lunch.
During the afternoon we ran the engine for an hour or so to top the batteries up.
That evening, Joanna picked us up and we went for a quick drink in the Red Lion in Little Heywood before going out to lunch at The Yorkshireman at Rugely. The meal was excellent although had we not had a lift I don't think it's really walkable from any mooring.
