After 5 nights at Weedon we were beginning to feel at home.  Found the village, did some shopping, then yesterday we got the bus into Northampton.  Only 12 miles but it took almost an hour.  Thank fully Paul used his bus pass so it was only me who had to pay £6.10 fare!  We had a good look round the town, including lunch,  a look at the canal for future reference and shopping in Sainsbury’s before catching the bus back.  Today we are again on the move, literally as I write.  Travelling along the Grand Union heading for Cosgrove where there is a canal festival this weekend.   Before that we stop at Gayton to fill the water tank, and empty the other one.  I will let you imagine what that holds!  Then it’s through Blisworth Tunnel and a flight of locks at Stoke Bruerne.  So a busy day ahead!

It’s very rural where we are passing, just bird song and the chug of our engine.  There is a moorhen on the canal just beside us and we have seen several herons this morning. 

Well now I have made you all jealous I will sign off until next time.
