That is the wood( mit badgers!)
Lovely mooring
I wonder how long this will stay here.
Monday nights morring spot.Monday we cruised back up the Oxford canal towards Braunston. This canal is quintessentially “England”.
So 9 days left before we start back down the Nene. Do we go to Milton Keynes, and say Hello to Mel and Pete or do we go left and cruise a bit of the Leicester arm.?????
Well ,as we will be going off down The Great Ouse towards Bedford in August( and Mel, if you are still following this, you did say that was an easy place for you to get to !) we have decided to trundle down towards The Welford Arm , and then turn back and explore Crick ( shops n pubs !!!!).
Tuesday we looked at 12v fridges in The Midland Swindlers, I mean Midland Chandlers. We need a new fridge, but do we go 12v @ £600 or 240v @ £100. ( we have an inverter), plus a generator??? Decisions, decisions.
Did the Braunston locks with 3 Ozzies. Greg had said that they were rank amateurs, and boy, was he correct. Anyway, Mick and I imparted some knowledge, but we both got the feeling that they were not enjoying the experience. Hard Work. !!!!
Passed Pete and Carol( forgot the name of their boat), travelling with the folks on NB Sorted. ( they all hang out at Floods Ferry.)
Washing is out on the towpath, but on an airer today.
Finlay has just had a good walk around “Fieldside Covert”( a small wood by the canal).
And Gerry, if you are following, we are moored exactly in the same spot, that we first saw your daughter( she was wearing a pirate hat) on your NB Dash.
As far as I am concerned, this is the most beautiful mooring spot, EVER. ! quiet, views all around, a small wood.etc. I am now trying to talk Mick into venturing in there this evening at dusk, WITHOUT Finlay, as I reckon there are badgers in there.
