Norton Junction for the night

It feels so GOOD to be traveling again! We set out this afternoon after Pete came home from work and after Colin (our engineer) visited the BFG for final snagging. While the BFG snagging was going on Elizabeth was happily vacuuming - on the cut! Yes BFG!

We stopped off at the water/waste point, dropped off rubbish and then started the Braunston flight of six locks. Heaven. Moving lock gates, winding paddles - oh, the muscles did enjoy being revived. We then revisited our dear Braunston tunnel airing an excellent rendition of "Bless The Lord my Soul" in harmony. No other boats and dear Josie scurried inside.

Now moored. Tomorrow the Leicester Arm. Good.
