Ellesmere.
Staying put.
When we were here in the early part of last year, there was a skeleton of a new building opposite this old warehouse. That skeleton is now a Tesco's which has the added advantage of us being nearly able to moor at the checkouts.
We are waiting here for some post to catch up with us, this is the only place we have found so far where the post mistress will have nothing to do with the "Post Restante" service. I didn't know it was her choice to accept or decline the post, I will have to look into that when we eventually get broadband again.
Thankfully the local boatyard was more accommodating and we can pick it up from there.
The weather is very settled at the moment so we are going to do the touristy thing and go and have a wander around the mere that gives this place it's name.
Until next time.......................

Hi Brian,
Thanks for that info, it looks like we will have to find more helpful boatyards or pubs to send the post to.
Regards Chris.
To Mr/Mrs Anon from Dudley,
Are you yawning and Zedding about the Blog or the comments?
Sue on No Problem had the same problem at Napton but contacted the Post Office head office and Napton were made to reinstate it, might be worth checking with her although she is not on the boat at the moment.
