So we finally left the Leicester arm of the GU and we will be back.
The battery was tested by the manufacturers and pronounced to be fine so, as Mick said its mis-management by the skipper and crew.

Boat names : Moo Moo La Rouge - Could he be the landlord of The Red Cow ?
Muchgigglin( like that)
Pooh Sticks - there is a tale to this one. Mick doesn't really know anything about Winnie the Pooh and the game of sticks at the bridge. So when he saw this boat coming towards him, and he couldn't see the artwork on the side, he said " good god, why on earth would someone want to name their boat that ?". I explained and we had muchgigglin about calling your boat such a name !!

We are now at Milton Keynes and plan to go and have a look at the Aylesbury arm and the Wendover arm, before turning around to start our way down The Nene at the end of august.

Hoping to meet up with friends Ricky and Val on the way back ( they follow the blog). and Tonight or tomorrow we are hoping to meet up with Melanie and Pete and family in MK( Spanish Brians daughter).

We think that we are approaching Numpty Country. There is a hire firm down this way that is popular with the thirty-something crowd.( they basically don't give a toss about other boaters) and one has already had a run-in with the lockie at Stoke Bruerne by ignoring the lockies' instructions. Also it's a challenge getting a smile or a hello out of some of them. There are quite a few busty blonde essex-girl types about as well, so Mick'e eyes are like organ stops at times. !

The Canadian's should be here so Howdy? to Bruce and Chris. Have a great time. I bet there will be some stuff supped, up there in BraTford. !!!!

Micks got a brand new bag!......... I will try and get a pic for you all.
