May 1

‘All’s well that ends well’ to quote some English guy. Shaft drilled, prop replaced and we are on the move.

Toured back along the canal in sometimes torrential, sometimes just misty rain. The great weather just didn’t last, but we enjoyed the liquid sunshine (Vancouverites can identify here!) Spent the night at Whitchurch. Long day tomorrow as we return to Nantwich.

Some pics.

The servant’s dining room, where the status was rigid and the amenities not so grand! The book in the foreground identifies all of the household and their duties and wages.

Not the servants rooms, but the state rooms of the Myddleton family, who owned the castle from the 1500’s until about 1980

About Ed Mortimer

I'm a retired school teacher, now living on my Dutch cruiser in France. I'm touring as much of the canals and river systems as I can. This blog describes what I do and where I've been. I did spend 5 years on first a narrowboat, and then this boat, in Britain.
