A very warm and muggy day for a short journey into Braunston, where, although very busy, we did manage to find a mooring, after doing our chores in the morning. So, we now have a full tank of water, all the rubbish has been disposed of and the toilet cassettes are empty and sweet smelling!! Sorry, maybe too much information!
Braunston across the fields, of sheep!

Gongoozlers abound in and around the busy junction at Braunston where there is always something for them to gawp at. Boats of all sizes negotiating the locks, turning in the winding hole and passing back and forth looking for moorings. There is also a boat from which the owners make and sell glass jewellery, moored along the towpath today. Some of their wares looked beautiful but we didn't make a purchase!
No bbq tonight as we are having a meal and a beer or two in the Boathouse to celebrate our anniversary.
Thunderstorms are forecast for this evening but hopefully we will dodge them.
Having had a very slow start to our journey I suspect we will start to clock up some more meaningful miles over the next few days. But then again we may just continue to do just short hops! We will see!

what a fantastic colourful picture with a handsome man on the tiller to set it off perfectly!
