Middlewich to Bramble Cuttings

Picked up parcels from Middlewich Post Office, so a bit late starting. My lenses arrived, and so did Margaret's new fleece, but there's a damaged seam so it's going back.

Beautiful day for travelling. Stopped for lunch at Bramble Cuttings, and decided to stay for the night. Kept the engine running for a while,  and will need to decide this evening whether to run it again. First real test of the charging system.

Applied the first coat of blacking to the chimney collar and wooden support.

2 miles, 1 lock, 2.5 hours engine
