Hazel had to have her car checked out for electrickery bugs as it wouldnt lock the other day and one of the windows seemed stuck. The nearest place was Wincham about 2 miles away near Witton Albion football ground. Luckily the Trent & Mersey canal runs from Wincham to close by our house so we took the opportunity to walk back along the towpath after dropping off the car. It rained a bit at first but soon brightened up and got quite hot . Delighted to see groups of ducklings and signets on the way - also a couple of herons hiding in the rushes. The only grey spot being the TATA chemical works that is a blot on the landscape in between but once passed that it's beautiful open fields and woodland either side until you get to Wincham which has an industrial estate that can be seen (and heard!) from the canal bank. Later on in the day we got the call to get the car back (nothing wrong after all - window could be unlocked by magic button Hazel had clicked by mistake - doh!) and so we walked back along the canal and saw more ducklings ( probably the same ones ) and dragonflies, moorhens etc. Phew! Haven't walked so far in ages!
