Nantwich today  eight or was it nine charity shops but few bargains to be had , as Hilary said they were posh charity shops but never the less a really pretty town .We visited the museum which although small was interesting ,
Lunch was a pasty from a small bakers amazingly Greggs haven't yet reached here
Tomorrow I will walk across town to Morrisons  to get supplies and later we need to move Sybil as we are on a forty eight hour mooring but quarter of a mile further out there are no limitations , there are still things to see in town yet.
As we are going back to Kirkby on Monday for a few days I have sorted a short term mooring for Sybil and a small hire car and I think that's very small but definitely cheaper and quicker than the train but maybe not as much fun ?? With less people watching options
                                                              A few pictures now

This was a bridge we passed under a few days ago note the stumpy telephone pole mounted in the middle of the bridge which once carried wires but no longer in use 

The millenium clock in Nantwich a working clock in a glass box with all its bits on view

The tow path as it passes under a bridge you can see the raised brick ridges which gave the horse more grip where it may slip these are also used over the bridges  but they do  make walking more difficult for humans

This is a figure constructed from oak beams and iron parts from the canal infrastructure 
it is around seven or eight feet high 
Impressive 

One of the timber framed houses with lovely gardens we passed on the walk into town
