Braunston.

Yesterday we left bridge 81 and made our way to Braunston in the rain, well it wasn't heavy rain it was that really fine stuff that gets you soaked through. It was cold as well, were going to stop at the sanitary point but there were two boats there so we had to give that a miss, one of the boats was tied to a tree and its stern swung out and nearly hit us as we went past, it was on about 10foot of rope.

We are now on the Puddlebanks yet again and as there is a boat on the only decent mooring we have the plank out at long last Saffy has got the hang of walking the plank, Crystal just launches herself onto the towpath.

Couldn't get a signal for the laptop yesterday probably due to the awful weather, today no problem. This morning we caught the bus to Daventry for the shopping had a quick look in Homebase Paul has come up with a new idea re the fiddler rail round the kitchen shelves and needed some door knobs, needless to say they didn't have what we wanted. So he popped into Nobles and they have ordered him just the thing, should be in tomorrow. Paul also went into the computer shop to check out this new Windows 7 that has just been launched. As we are thinking of getting a new laptop he wanted a bit of advice. Chap was very helpful just have to save up now.
A new bilge pump had to be fitted as ours was inadvertently switched on and it burnt itself out. Don't know how that happened but too late to worry about it now its over and done with. Shall check in future to make sure everything on that panel is switched off.
Will probably stay here till next week then who knows where we will be, probably towards Napton in the country for a few days then back towards Rugby and beyond.
