Trundle to the rescue

Tonight we are at Northampton, ready to do the Roserthorpe Flight up onto the Grand Union ,mainline tomorrow(Wed.), but yesterday we did a rescue job.






The folks live at Floods Ferry, same as us, but we haven't got to know many people yet. anyway they had a problem with their engine, and had phoned for an engineer, but they needed to be at a lock so he could get his van to them. so first we tried a tow-ing job, but ended up weeving about all over the place. After a bit of thought we strapped them to our side and went along together.( albeit they were facing the wrong way). They are a really nice couple, and I felt so sad that their trip has started out like this. But anyway,after a text today, I reckon they will resume their journey tomro. !









This little tern, had just plunged into the river by the side of us, and came up with a fish for his supper. Its the devils own job trying to get a pic of them as they move soooo fast.





I am going to be writing to a newspaper !!!! At a lock at Irthlingboro, some young folks ( surly and wearing hoodies) had had a camp-out. We were doing lock-stuff when they left and this is the state they left it in.







Theres wildlife galore around here, I took a close up of the rubbish, also, and I took a picture of them crossing at a bridge. so now am off to locate a local paper, to complain about the "youth of today". errr, am I starting to sound like my granny ?
