Braunston. Still......



This is our fifth day here and to be honest, we are quite enjoying the rest from travelling.

That probably seems a funny thing to say as our life at the moment cannot really be described as stressful, but we have been on the move now (more or less on a daily basis) for nearly eight months and it has turned out to be nice to stop for a while.

This is also a good bit of practice for when the bad weather sets in, the last thing you want is a bit of cabin fever should you get stuck alongside for any amount of time.







Still very busy.




Here's something you don't see every day, this boat was towed in late Saturday evening to this yard, and by mid Monday morning they are lifting the engine out.



We had another walk up to the village where the views sweep over the countryside and the silence is almost tangible. That's a long line of smoking narrow boats just past the tree with the smell of burning coal and wood adding to the whole atmosphere.



The need for water should move us on tomorrow,


So until then..........................................................
