I’m many weeks behind sharing our autumnal adventures, so to catch up on our journey having done the “half full monty” we continued floating downstream along the Llangollen. We enjoyed a few days in Ellesmere,
where the yarn bombers had adorned a letterbox to commemorate armistice day
We do love a bit of street art, but sometimes canal artists know how to sum up the mood of the nation just as well
Though sometimes you just can’t beat nature
Our plan was to be off the Llangollen before the planned winter closures started on the 8th November, but we still had time to walk around Whitchurch. It has some lovely “old” timber framed buildings Not all of them quite as old as they seem being built in the 1930’s.
And then onto Marbury, which does have a genuine old church which claims to be home to the oldest pulpit in Cheshire, 1456
We still haven’t quite relaxed into properly exploring the places we visit, but churches usually feel a safe space to wander around midweek,
and we are very grateful to the communities who have left their doors unlocked for the likes of us.
But we’re not out of the woods yet with more Covid bridges to cross and canal bridges to float under.
