Well is has been a while, I really don't know where the times goes!  We finally left Braunston on Thursday.  Cupboard looking good, and we now have 2 windows at the bow of the boat with a table which either clips up behind the windows or drops down into the cratch.  So all very posh!  Paul has painted it but will do some decoration when he has the time.  Leaving Braunston meant 6 locks and a tunnel.  We were very lucky with the weather and the 6 locks took one hour twenty minutes.  Good going.  We were paired with another boat, that helps, also it was fairly busy so some locks were ready for us to go straight in and others we were able to leave open ready for the next boat.  Which all makes life that bit easier. 
So now we are moored near a village called Weedon.  Just ahead of us is the Pub where we stayed when we came up and found Falcon.  Haven't been there tho as we have a problem with electrics/fridge,  not sure which, have an electrician visiting tomorrow.  So have had to eat up lots of food from the fridge!
Not been any where today, it gets busy on the canal at the weekends!  We’ve been busy though.  Helped Paul get everything out of the bow locker which is where the gas bottles go.  He then managed to squeeze himself in there to clean it out and treat the rust.  Hoping for dry weather tomorrow, so he can paint inside.   It  means that while he is working we have no gas, so not even a cuppa!
Well wrote that yesterday, so we are still at Weedon and hopefully the electrics are now working properly.  May stay here a few days yet.
So that is the latest from us.  You all take care.
