Hot-cross buns again Lovely

A very leisurely start to Good Friday. We had a breakfast of Hot-cross buns and cups of tea very nice indeed. The weather was a bit overcast but what do we expect for a bank holiday
 Eddy was not going to do much today just sleep on the Futon. He does look very relaxed.

So at 10.15 we untied and moved off towards the only 2 locks of the day. At the last lock we met a couple from Norfolk who were having a walk around the village and chatted for awhile.
They will have a look at our blog when they get back to Norfolk.

So through Blisworth Tunnel which is 3,076 yards long it is the third-longest navigable canal tunnel on the canal system. Its very wet in the tunnel, we only passed one other boat coming in the other direction.

On the way to Blisworth we passed a very nice boat called Huffler which I believe is a term used  for a person that was employed to help boats through locks, please correct me if I have got it wrong.

Then on we went for our mooring for the night just after Elliot Bridge near Hayford Fields Marina.

A nice quiet mooring we woke to a cloudy start to the day and had Hot-cross buns and tea for breakfast again and again very nice.

We untied and headed off, we saw  NB Briar Rose on hard standing with a very nice looking black bottom, a job we will need to do next year.

We pulled in to Rugby Boat sales from where we brought Tacet just over  year ago. We had a chat with Steve who was the sales man who showed us around Tacet what a great block he is and it was   nice to see him again. We brought a bag of coal as we needed one.

We finally moored at Weedon and had a walk in to the village. What a lovely village it is to walk around and some lovely buildings to look at.
When we got back to Tacet I opened one of the double doors and looked in for Eddy, Eddy was poised to escape or so Sharon thought so Sharon in her panic went and  shut the door which my head was still in, in the commotion that followed Eddy went back to his Futon and looked at both of us Sharon thought this was so funny that she cried (real tears)with laughter and could hardly breath, if my head was not hurting so much she may have had difficulty in breathing !!!.
But all in all another great day.

So Total Distance Travelled is  14 Miles  & 7 Locks and one long tunnel.
