We set out from Stowe Hill on Friday afternoon after a few hours internet work. We expected to travel south east a little, turn around, then go to moor up in between Buckby top lock and the one below and use the services. But it was a lovely day! So we decided to give the turning point a miss and travel on for another few miles to Gayton Junction, the place where the Northampton Arm of the Grand Union travels severely down hill to the east towards Northampton. At the junction is an excellent BW services point. So we travelled, turned into the junction, then moored up for a bit to do the essentials. You can see that even Josie enjoyed it!We decided we didn't really have to go too far, so we turned back to the north east and moored up by Bridge 35 on the Grand Union main line, just west of the village of Bugbrooke. A lovely village with a gorgeous tiny post office! Elizabeth used this on Saturday morning to post the jumper she'd been knitting for Jeffrey in Australia. Hopefully it will get there in time for the end of winter. She's now working on James', ready for his US winter.
