Thursday 15th April

Hi again
The connection is still painfully slow but I will put what I can.
Tuesday:
left the campsite and stopped at the Ellesmere Port Boat Museum.
Took Murphy with me as I wandered around the Barges and canals, went aboard some and saw the exhibition of Diesel engines.
Very interesting old cottages furnished as they would have been in the 50's.
Made our way up the Wirral and stopped at a campsite in Thurstaston, had an easy evening and watched a film.
Wednesday :
Had a day off, did a shop at Tesco's then drove to our next site about 2 miles from our last site, Wirral Country Park Caravan Club Site very near the coast.
Took Murphy for a long walk through the Wirral Country Park down to the edge of the river Dee.
Superb weather , long beach at the mouth of the Dee with views across to Wales with Flint immediately opposite.
Had a lazy evening sitting in the late sun, Simon took a photo of a brilliant Sunset which he hopes to put on his blog when we get a good connection.
Thursday :
Stayed at the same site today, Simon cycled to the lighthouses on the Wirral, I took Murphy for a long hike through the country park but in a different direction along the clifftop eventually finding a set of steps leading down to the estuary,Murphy went mad racing around on the sand.
Walked what seemed miles until we came across another set of steps which took us up to the Information centre, sat on a seat in the sun and was awoken half an hour later by my phone ringing.
This evening we have been invited to a Restaurant for a meal ( will let you know how we get on tomorrow).
Hi to Jane at Devon Motorhomes, Kingskerswell.
All for now
Phil
