We attended a fortieth and a first birthday party during that time it was good to catch up with ever body and see the grand children all growing up so quickly .
The start of our next journey is towards Chester and then onwards to Ellesmere Port and the museum of boating
This was our greenhouse when we got home looks like their will be a good crop of grapes
The flowers on Sybils roof on our return to the marina , the guy who lives on the boat at the end of the walkway had looked after them during our absence .
I have never met him just goes to show their are some good people around.
Stop planks these are used to block the canal to allow work to be done they are slid into grooves cut into the stone work at bridges and locks to form a dam
The iron lock on the way up to Chester made from large sheets of interlocking metal an experimental construction to try and overcome problems with soft ground
The giant Dalek just outside Barbridge made from straw bales and a steel frame .
An advertising thing for an ice cream shop it must be around ten metres tall look at the size of the people next to it for a comparison .
I was told by our car hire driver that it rotates and has sound effects .
