Braunston

It has taken us three days to get here!! We have had various layers of clothes on and off and today we had to don waterproofs for the first time. We have had wind, sun, overcast and bleak, stillness and peace and mist and mirk but up until today have not got wet! Today we bought more coal because the forecast is for high pressure to move in and bring cold and frosty nights again. However, despite sad news from several of our friends we are OK and send our prayers to those in need.


Tomorrow we plan to ascend the Braunston locks go through Braunston Tunnel and get on the Leicester Arm of the Grand Union. That's the plan but as we all know the best laid plans........

In the meantime, Sid and Jenny are enjoying a very pleasant drop of ale in the afternoon sun overlooking Hunters Moon moored on the opposite bank.
