But, before we start, here's a look at last night's sunset.
A very angry sky. We did hear some rumbles of thunder but nothing too near us.
Woke up very early and glad that I did.
Half past five, not a whisper of a breeze, not a cloud in sight. Naturally, just had to get back into bed and go to sleep again.
After breakfast we went to the elsan and water point and then reversed back into the junction, turned the boat around - and not a soul in sight watching! Of course, when someone is watching something goes wrong, so, I should be grateful for small mercies.
We are now approaching the bottom of the Braunston locks. Already it's very busy on the canal with three boats ahead of us. Luckily that means that there is a boat that we can share the locks with.
And there they are. Grandparents taking their daughter and grandson up through the locks, turning round and going back again. The grandson was having great fun whooping and calling out when they went through the tunnel.
What was the new housing estate is blending in nicely.
At Norton Junction we turned back onto the Leicester branch of the GU, heading towards Watford.
Now, I know that I went on a bit about HS2 and their bridges but look at the above. It's a main line railway bridge but it's got style. Little extra details to make it look better than it is. Doesn't take much does it?
And here we are, Watford Locks.
At the bottom of the staircase and we are the only boat in the flight. Lucky us, we had help all the way up. I think they were glad to have the company.
And here's our resting spot for the night.
Lovely views both ways.
And we finish with another sunset photo for the album.
