Good Bye To Braunston And More Visitors

We took the bus in to Daventry on Wednesday to have a look around, nice little town with the usual shops. We found Aldi and managed to stock up on provisions and a few other bits we needed. We have had a great time in Braunston and are moorings for the week were wonderful.Just a few pics from our window.

Lovely Swans Wanting Breakfast














Wonderful Pic I Think














Thursday we slipped the lines and went up to the water point to fill with water and do the other necessities.  I popped in to Midland Chandlers and brought some coal which I don’t like buying from chandler's as we much prefer to use one of the trade boats but have not seen one for a while so we hope we see one on the Oxford Canal soon so we can stock up on it.
Had a really lovely cruise and used the captain's perch to rest on, it really is very comfortable and practical as it can be removed when we need the extra space or when mooring up.
 The Captain's perch Wonderful & Comfy To Rest On
We moored up by the Bridge Inn Napton for the evening a really nice mooring. Friday I got on with a couple of jobs the biggest being applying a wax coat to the roof of Tacet for the winter and it  looks nice and shiny.
Saturday Morning and one of Sharon's work mates Jackie visited us and we spent a couple of hours catching up it was good to see you.
