Well as you will see we are now on Tuesday.  I wrote the piece below yesterday then couldn't seem to post it.  Well yesterday was a busy day with 9 locks in total.  The first 2 being a staircase.  We are now making our way towards Aylesbury.  A beautiful frosty sunny morning, so must be off and away.
 
Monday 25th November

Well didn’t realise how long since I last wrote here.  Time goes so quickly!!  We pottered on from Milton Keynes and on through Fenny Stratford, not taking a walk ashore at either place, as we have visited before and we will be headed back this way in a couple of weeks time.  Friday morning saw us arrive in Leighton Buzzard.  Tesco has 2 hour moorings, so we were able to stock up.  We also caught up with an old friend of mine, Julie, we grew up together.  We did see her last year in Milton Keynes but on Friday she took us back to her place.  Unfortunately due to commitments on their side and ours we were only able to spend a few hours with her and husband David.   Still long enough for a glass of wine and a catch up! 

We needed to press on southward as lock 35 closes today for a week.  Well we came through there yesterday.  Currently we are thinking we may head to Aylesbury before heading northwards once again.  The Aylesbury Arm had been shut for a while as lock 12 had collapsed, however last night we looked at the stoppages to check everything out and it seems the only problem now is with the towpath.  So we will give it a go.  Watch this space to see how we get on.
