Birdingbury Wharf and a closed pub

We had a lovely day. So good to remember why we live on a boat - because we can take our home to new places. Tonight we have a quiet spot believe it or not, by the A423 bridge over the Grand Union Canal. The old name is Birdingbury Wharf. Sadly the pub, The Boat, is closed with no sign of reopening. That seems to be the way of country pubs.

Today was mostly reacquainting ourselves with Bella as leisure. We set out from Hillmorton Wharf (new name from Blue Haven) at a leisurely just past noon. We rounded Braunston turn just after two and after Wigrams Turn and the Calcut Locks, were happily moored up by 5:15.

Lovely.
