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.
