Braunston. Staying Put.

Aaaa.......... I just love the smell of diesel in the morning.

I am beginning to think we have been welded to the side at the moment!! This is the longest we have stayed anywhere since we were at Leeds.

Touch wood, the engine has been running for four hours now and hasn't missed a beat, the final test will be when we are running under load.

Normally you could do this whilst still moored to the side but we have a boat so close behind us he is touching our button (Rear Fender) and the same situation at the front.




Waking up this morning was like being back on a camping site with the caravan, the close proximity of the other boats allowed you to hear them moving around aboard and even talking. In the above picture there were four other boats in that gap on the left, this is one busy place.




A view of Braunston church over the grounds of the canalside pub which is undergoing major refurbishment.

If I've got this right, this was originally known as the Rose and Castle, then changed to the Boatman, then over to the Mill House, and now, once reopened at the end of November, will be known as The Boat House. But for how long?

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