Brewood

Pleasant cruise south stopping for services at Wheaton Aston and moored up on one of the few gaps in the moorings at Brewood about 2pm. Within minutes of switching engine off everyone else except boat in front departed (was it something we said ?).  Bridie got talking to Peter and Linda off n.b. Bullfinch from Rufford moored facing us and heading north.  They have recently had a repaint and we were very impressed with the finish and I loved the look of their Sab engine.  David having just moored Barolo ahead joined in conversation and soon found that Peter and Linda were also from Chorley and remembered him from schooldays (and the 109 bus! )

The upshot of all this was that we all gathered in the Bridge Inn for a drink (or three) and spent a very convivial evening reminiscing and talking boats etc.
