A lazy day

A lovely sunrise and, just as we were about to set off, along comes Magnus Mirificus, a smart looking boat, who were happy to wait for us at Soulbury Three Locks so that we could go through together. When we got to the lock, not that much behind them, there were hundreds of young people ready to work the locks for us. Well, perhaps not hundreds, but the family on the boat had children and cousins along with them who were only too eager to help out.

In the lock we kept smiling since there was a chap from Waterways World who kept taking pictures of the two boats. Who knows, we could be on the cover of WW next month! (Very much doubt it) 

Look, blue sky and it hasn't rained or snowed all day! 

Even the captain's smiling. 

We've seen several swan's nests on our trip but haven't seen any eggs yet. 

Have only travelled two miles today and have stopped just before Leighton Buzzard. Had a nice walk in the afternoon to visit Tesco for supplies. Almost in their car park is an Aldi store as well, so you are spoilt for choice. Found a post box nearby and a handy pub for the horse. 

The pub is, obviously, The White Horse. 

Walking back to the boat we pass the Wyvern Hire Boats, all freshly painted for the summer season. 

Well, that's it for now, see you all tomorrow.
