So, we are at Northampton. Yesterday, we ( 2 boats) were really steaming through the locks, so decided to get all the way to N'hampton, and then the heavens opened.
It had been a sad start off, as whilst at Irthlingborough we had met Sue and Vic on No Problem( their blog is Retirement with No Problem). Lucy their 13 year old border collie was not too well, and that morning Sue came to tell us that the vet was coming out, and, yes, as you can probably guess, it culminated with Lucy going off to sleep. I have just checked out their blog, and bless them, thay have 56 messages from well-wishers. They are such a nice couple.They have young Meg,another border collie, and she is missing her chum. hey ho. all us dog owners know the heart break , don't we. ?
Anyway, our cruising companions decided to do the Rothersthorpe Flight today. I had told them of the impending bad, really bad weather, but was told by M, that her crystal ball said it was going to be ok. Well, I can tell you I have scoured N'hampton to try and find her a newer model, as the one she is using is RUBBISH . Haven't heard from them yet, but I reckon they must have got soaked. We will be off up tomorrow, in the sun and cloud, and will meet them for Towpath Tipples later. yippee. we will turn right at Gayton, so Rick and Val, if you should be reading this, we will be going to the pub at Weedon for 2 for £10. ( last of the big spenders, are we !!!!). so if you want to meet up, let us know.
