Just a view in the way to Foxton

So, after the Easter cruise, we spent a few days in Hilmorton, cracking through the laundry. Oh - and driving to Clayton, Cropredy and Banbury in Reg to get Bones back down the Oxford. Elizabeth drove Reg and Pete worked locks for Bones. Great fun!

We were due in Foxton in May, what with Pete having done his training and being approved as a lock keeper. This view is from our first night's mooring of the journey. We stopped after Braunston tunnel just before Norton Junction where the Leicester Arm of the Grand Union peels off north from the main section of the Grand. What a tranquil night!
