Gnosall on the S.U.

Spent the day moored at Shebdon Wharf yesterday walked dogs as far as the Anchor (but not open).  Although very blustery it was not too bad a day despite odd brief shower. In the evening went to the Wharf for dinner. Talked to  David and Yvonne on next table about boating and the weather only to realize they are the 'proud' owners of n.b. Barola.    This morning we were shown round their new build and we were rather green, it certainly has some great features and finishes. We reciprocated and showed off P.O. and they put up with us graciously before we both set off down the S.U.

We stopped at Norbury for services and to visit the chandlery and then motored on in rather breezy but pleasant weather as far as bridge 35A in Gnosall where we moored up and did a qick grocery shop before taking the dogs along the Millennium walk (the old Shrewsbury to Stafford railway line - yet another victim of Dr Beeching).

On the way back spotted nb Barola and invited David and Yvonne to join us for a chat over drinks this evening.
