Sorry guys didn’t realise it had been more than a week since I had written anything.  Time does fly!  A lot of that time we have been passing through remote villages and our signal strength has been poor to nonexistent.  Can’t think of a better excuse!!  Well along the way we reached the summit of the South Oxford Canal and had 11 miles of lock free cruising.  This gave me opportunity to get the hoover out.  Oh deep joy.  Still twice a year doesn’t seem excessive!! So now we are working our way downhill.  Had to get to Napton before 2nd Nov as the lock flight there is now closed for 6 week for maintenance.  So now we are moored at Braunston having arrived yesterday afternoon.  We will probably stay around this area for about a week.  Not too far from Yelvertoft where we started out.  About 20 minutes by car.  2 days by boat!  Again the lock flight at Watford is closed so we can’t go there.  So hopefully a couple of them will come to see us.  If you remember we had some work done to the cylinder heads back in the summer.  Well it was to Braunston we sent them so one of the things we have to do while here is go and pay our bill.  Not that we have had one yet!!  So the sun is shining and we are off out.  Catch you all later.
