Bye Ellesmere till April 2009


The BW services point at Ellesmere, Bendi filling with water and Shush just finished and winded.


Last supplies coming on board before leaving our mooring.
Managed to get a bit of painting done this week, the floor of the front deck wanted a coat to freshen it up, so found some Hammerite in almost the same colour as the original. Have put one coat on and will try to get onother on this week. Eiddwen and Elsie have been to Oswestry a couple of times (Eric and I sent a email to the shopping centre warning them that they were on their way, so they could get in extra stock!!).
On our way at last, we left Ellesmere this morning after using the services, water, rubbish, etc. Making our way against quite a strong gusting headwind, this, combined with the natural 2mph flow on the Llangollen was making the engine work for a change, it also made one or two bends rather interesting as well.
We are going to spend a few days on the Montgomery canal this coming week, and are looking forward to that as we haven't been down the Monty before. At present we are moored out in the country where we like to be when we get the chance.
Thats all folks, see you next week.
