The other day we were sat watching the tele when out of the corner of my eye I spotted this great big spider crawling over Crystals leg, it was a good job she was asleep as it wouldn't have survived to see another day.
Big bugger wasn't it, I don't like stow always like this at least Paul rescued it and I am sure it is better off on the tow path rather than in the boat.
We are now all done and dusted at the docs so on Tuesday we had an early start and made our way through the Crick tunnel and down the Watford locks getting to Norton junction to be with Ann and Keith. We spent a very pleasant afternoon on the towpath in the sun chatting and drinking the odd alcoholic beverage. Both Ann and I ended up with very red arms from the sun our noses were a bit pink too but that may have been from the drink……..
This morning it was through the Braunston tunnel and down the double locks luckily for us Betty and Graham came up to give us a hand so Paul and Keith just sat in the locks chatting while the rest of us beavered away.
So now here we all are back at Braunston together until Saturday at least, its is good to be with ours friends again.
Quick well done to my son Jack who got a fantastic time of 3hours 6mins for the London marathon on Sunday.

Have seen on the WEB that a great big (and i mean big!) spider came to INSECT (strictly speaking i know they're not!) the boat! Must have been a successful viewing coz Paul sent him off to the BANK!!
All joking apart, what sort of spider was it?
