Rain, what rain?

I realised earlier today that we are probably having less rain at the moment than most of the folk back home. We've seen reports of flooding and rail cancellations but, so far, we have had only one day when we didn't go anywhere.

We set off this morning on the way to Braunston and, after clearing Braunston tunnel, teamed up with the crew of Hedwig the Third. Now we crossed paths with these folk in the New Inn last night over supper. I say 'crossed paths' loosely because they were at the next table to us, chatting to other boaters at a further table. We, as usual, found out quite a lot about them just by earwigging the conversation. Anyway, very nice people who definitely knew about how to work locks and boats.

Not much of a view but here we are alongside in one of the locks.

Here we are passing the entrance to Braunston Marina. After this we turned left towards the Oxford Canal and have stopped for the night near Wolfhampcote in the middle of nowhere but with stunning views.

Might not get to see much of the view as it has started to rain - at last.

Not bad at all since the forecast was for rain most of the day.
