We left our moorings Saturday and headed towards Blisworth Tunnel,
it was very wet inside the tunnel and we passed 3 boats coming in the other
direction. We came out of the tunnel and found Stoke Bruerne almost deserted
with only 4 boats at the top of the locks so we moored for the evening.

Sharon had a walk up to the Canal Museum and came back
telling me about a book she had seen about the life of Sister Mary Ward who was
a nurse from Stoke Bruerne to the crews off narrowboats. Sharon dispatched me
to have a look as she was unsure what the cost of it was. The book was 18.99
and very interesting it is it is called Care on the Cut well worth a purchases.
We woke on Sunday morning the sun was shining on our last day of cruising on are year out on the cut. We were feeling very sad as we went
down the first 2 locks alone and then we were lucky enough to catch up with a couple
who had waited for us at the next lock.

We had a very lovely cruise down with them and said are
goodbyes and cruised off very slowly to Kingfisher Marina where we have a
mooring. We arrived and turned in and moored at our temporary mooring.

I cannot believe that your year away is almost over, where has that time gone! It sounds as if it has been a magical time full of wonderful memories. It has been lovely following the blog and was so nice to be able to visit you in November.
