upon my folded-up bed.

Had a nice quiet night( at last) at Norton Junction. We have now moved away from the A1 and train
lines, well for a while anyway.
It was out turn for chums to come and have a pre-dinner
drink with us,Ben and Tallie always come along, too. However, they are small
enough to get on a knee apiece, and Finlay decided to make his feelings known
too one and all.
Left early for Braunston Tunnel and flight of locks, which
are now busy, as we have restrictions for the time they can be used. We don’t
mind, but Hire boats only have so much time.
We followed a boat load of numpties down the locks. All the adults left one 9 year old kid doing
all the work, unfortunately he didn’t have much of a clue.

Then we met vintage boats “Nutmeg” and “Raimund”, being
taken down the Grand Union for a bit of a spruce up. Wow,, these boats are 76
years old, and Mick and I have become “anoraks”, due to the fact that we now
love old engines. The engine in Nutmeg is a Lister summat-or-other, but it has
a ,lovely soft clunkety-clunk sound
Now we are at a favourite mooring site on the way towards
Napton Junction and onwards , slowly, to Leamington Spa( royal, you know.) and
Warwick.
