Had a lie in this morning. Didn't get up until 7.30! We had breakfast and sat around watching life in Castlefields. There are two Bull Mastiffs living on a top floor balcony opposite our mooring. We watched last night as the woman took them for a ten minute walk and then locked them back out on the balcony. The man arrived home later and took them out again for about twenty minutes. They were then back on the balcony, before being put into what looked like a shed on the balcony for the night. They were given another ten minute walk this morning, then left on the balcony for the day. I don't know why people like that bother to have dogs. It's cruel.We watched boats shuffling around. As one boat left the moorings, another moved from it's original mooring to take the place of the one that had just left. I don't know why one mooring was any different from another.
We set off around 10.00 towards the road bridge near TDG. Both Carl's daughters work for TDG and we always text to let them know when we are passing. If they can get out, they come and meet us. Suzy was not able to get out today, but Emma took her break and came down to the towpath to meet us. We had a chat, before carrying on towards Dunham.
Manchester Ship Canal Company must have been having a clear up of the canal. We passed a work boat full of all sorts of junk that was obviously from the canal.
We moored at Dunham at 1.40 on the non towpath side, just passed the entrance to Dunham Park. There was a lovely sunset this evening and a rainbow.
