Blisworth to Long Buckby

Away just after 9 a.m. All in good spirits and no ague in either crew.
A couple of hours to Weedon named after St Weedon the Patron Saint of Bathroom Tiles where we restocked om milk and bread. Lots of duckilings about hence we are getting through bread faster than normal.



Waiting at Wilton



Up the fight to Long Buckby

 Followed some looneyboat all the way to Weedon. Chap dressed for the Office who kept waving to the trees. Glad Roy was between him and me. Lunch on the move with Adrian and I taking turns on the tiller and reached the bottom of Wilton locks for the Rush Hour.
Weather steadily improving as worked our way up the six locks mooring below the top lock at Long Buckby where we intend to barbecue this evening, presumably after a visit to the recently refurbished New Inn. Which turns out to be very pleasant . The four of us enjoy a pre-bbq drink and raise a glass (and a few more as the evening goes on) to Annie's Mum , Catherine who has a birthday today.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CATHERINE FROM THE CREWS OF PANTHER AND INDEPENDENCE.
And thank you for the Carraway Cake. Now all gone! AND........Whilst all this was going on the Australians were being dismissed for not a lot and the second test at Lords ends in 4 days. England 2 Australia 0  Deep Joy.
