Connection at last

On previous visits to Braunston I have never been able to get a 3g signal for my lap top so spent ages while we were at Hilmorton catching up on emails etc. But blow me down (or words to that effect) since we arrived here I havent had a problem getting a signal, ok sometimes it is only a weak signal and everything is slow but at least I can get out.

We are well into catching the bus now as we paid Daventry a visit, it's only 10 mins from the marina here so we are going again tomorrow to go to Tesco to top up, only a small shop for now as our friends are joining us here on the 12th so I will have to shop again for when they arrive. Daventry is a nice place with everything you need we even found a nice cafe where Paul got a breakfast for £3. I got a bus timetable from Braunston P.O.

While here we met up again with John and Paula on Taurean (first met them in Rugby) spent a nice evening with them last night in the Wheatsheaf having a chinese and listening to the live group. Transpires they had a pub in Faversham which is about 5 miles from our home village of Lower Halstow. They have just passed us as they are off to Warwick needless to say it is lashing it down so their journey will be a wet one.

On the day we arrived here we got to the place where we usually moor at the start of the Oxford was just mooring up and getting the board out when a guy on a boat up the way proceeded to empty his cassette down the grass bank we couldnt believe what we were seeing, he wasnt even being a bit discreet about what he was doing and there were loads of boats going past but he didnt seem to care. Just too idle to walk to the disposal point. What was so amazing was he had gone past the sanitary station to get moored up. What is it with some people, needless to say after about 10 mins he was off again on his travels.
