A day with Harvey and Helen

Before Harvey and Helen arrived, one or two jobs to do first. Rubbish disposal, loo duty, showers and a few other odds and ends.

Checked up on the pub only to find that they don't do food on Mondays. 

Plan B it is then.

Upon H&Hs arrival we jumped in the car and set off for Pickle and Pie at Crick. As per usual, a delicious lunch for all. 

after that, back to the boat for a little jaunt along the canal.

Helen seems to be enjoying it.

And so does Harvey helping out with the lock.

Harvey then took us all the way down to the junction and back.

Mind you, at the junction we came across a boat that had grounded whilst turning onto the Grand Union. Managed to get alongside them and tow them off the mud. No champagne this time but, again, the wife was mightily relieved (to say the least). 

Back to the basin to drop H&H off and saw that there was a mobile pizza van in the pub car park. We tried it out later and it was delicious.
