We had a #coal delivery today. Excellent price too, so I must put in a good word for Liam at " #Midlands & #Coastal #Canal Carriers".

Happened to spot them delivering to the house next to the cottages in our terrace.

Of course, the #Bridgewater Canal was built back in the 1770s specifically to carry coal, so it seems appropriate to use it to deliver to our 1845, canal worker's cottage.

The picture was taken as they reversed back through #PrestonBrook bridge to the wharf where they are based.

Yesterday we packed the car again and set off with another load of #furniture, only some of it #flatpack, and other supplies to make the #cottage in #PrestonBrook habitable.

Guess who got in #trouble when unloading the car at our destination? My #excuse is there's 30 yards of muddy #towpath to walk along to reach the cottage.

The day after we arrived at #PrestonBrook I managed to rebuild all the furniture we'd taken to the #cottage

By the end of the next day, we'd done some more #IKEA #shopping and there was a single bed in the second bedroom.
