It's Thursday morning and we have a shopping trip ahead of us because the fridge, fruit bowl and vegetable rack are empty and the 'cellar' is also looking a bit depleted. Sid took Hunters Moon across the Iron Trunk Aquaduct and on to Wolverton where a Tesco store is close by. It is also from where Sid returned, by train, to Chi back in 2014 for a visit to the dentist to replace a crown and fell on the steps and grazed his knee, which took months to heal! He still has the scar! Sorry reader, you really didn't need that unnecessary piece of our boating history. Back to present times.
It turned out be a very large shop, too much for our usual backpacks and bags so we decided to to do it in two stages with a lunch break in between. Now, fully provisioned and in glorious warm sunshine we made the short trip to the winding hole then to start our slow progress back to Fenny.
We moored back in Cosgrove and enjoyed a BBQ in the late afternoon sun. Once the sun goes down now it is feeling quite chilly, very autumnal!
Our Friday mooring is beautiful with open fields by our side with sheep grazing. Sid spent and hour or so polishing - the other side now and Jenny sat on the towpath reading. It really is such a tough life.
