11 March 2018

Fairly bright day, no rain and still12oC, which seemed almost tropical after the cold spell we had 10 days or so ago. Its Mother's Day so I am remembering my Mother today.

In the afternoon I visited the Anderton Boat Lift. Built in 1875 it provides a 50-foot (15.2 m) vertical link between two navigable waterways: The Trent & Mersey Canal and the River Weaver. I followed this by a trip just down the road to Marbury Park and Budworth Mere, thence to Great Budworth. I visited the splendid church and popped into the George and Dragon Pub for a quick pint of John Willie Lees MPA.
