Back on the boat - Macclesfield

We rejoined the boat after 10 days back in London, arriving early afternoon.  We met up with the owner of the boatyard to discuss the work that had been done and moved the boat to the water point.  When all was settled, we set off for Macclesfield, desperate really for some provisions as the larder had been cleared when we returned home.  The canal is shallow and speed was slow.  There was the niggling thought that there was rubbish on the prop slowing us down, but it was never bad enough to motivate me to stop and look.   We finally reached Macclesfield at about 19:15 and were surprised that there appeared to be plenty of moorings.  Our target was Tesco, down the hill and much further away that we had remembered.  So with a huge weight of shopping, it was a taxi back whcih the store arrnaged for us and was quick to arrive.   So back on the boat we settled down to a pizza supper, bottle of red and a reasonable TV picture on the stub aerial.
