Braunston To Napton Narrowboats.

Ice Ice Baby.............Vanilla.. Ice Ice Baby.

Another frozen canal this morning,.......... another very frozen canal.

We even managed to get our hot water supply to the kitchen/galley frozen solid again. This is March isn't it?

Nine o'clock arrives and the first boat was smashing it's way through, all was well.



A couple of nights in Braunston was enough for us, the countryside beckoned once more.
Towering cloudless and sunny Sky's were our reward.

The down side was that the world and his wife were also out here.





Passing boat,



after boat,






after boat,







after boat and so on,





until we were back at our overwintering spot.

What a difference no snow makes!







This is just getting worse here, they have now attached a seventy foot dumb barge covered in orange fishnet tights to the sunken boat.
Not much thought has been applied to boats plying along the canal though, the gap to pass through is diminishing rapidly.






Three abreast now and one at the end, one more at this end and you could have a set...!!!





Onward!



A cheery call from fellow Blogger Matilda rose as we passed by was a bit of a surprise, you never know who is reading your Blog until they actually tell you.

I will be adding them to our Blogroll and now reading their Blog with interest.

Until next time.....................
