Pendant les moments (bref) quand le soleil brille, qu'est ce que nous avons fait? On se cache dans cet tunnel , Braunston. 2km de longeur, froid, noire, humide et aucun soleil. Bien jouer John!
But never mind, the end was soon in sight...
C'est pas grave, le fin est la...

.and at least one of the crew thought it was
amazing..

Tthe sun was still shining so I decided it was MY turn to steer. Brave or what?! Bridges , bends, on-coming boats all negotiated without making contact. Skill.
C'est mon tour! Le soleil est toujours la, hooray!
Relaxing on the towpath at last.
On the towpath towards Foxton Locks.The way things were.
Vers les ecluses a Foxton. Les temps passer...
And here they are, the infamous Foxton Locks.. Two staircases of five locks each. What jolly fun.
Encore des ecluses! Cette fois, dix dans un "escalier", l'un apres l'autre. Encore le travail pour moi, eh bien..
The view from the top was idyllic,and yes! more sun.
Cet photo etait pris pour montrer le ciel BLEU!
Breakfast in the Bridge 61 Cafe at the bottom. This was good too!
A la fin, petit dejeuner dans ce jolie bistro!
And we had more visitors. Hello to Rebecca and Adrian who joined us in The Red lion at Cropredy, Good to see you both!
Hi sailors!
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing a lot about you and your travels as my mum is in Sydney with us. It looks like you're having a good time but lots of rain... Hang in there, summer is just around the corner, well that is... if summer ever starts in Europe this year!
It's so great to have mum here, she's been extremely helpful and we will be very sad to see her go on Wed. Our little Alfred is doing good and I'm excited to come to Tronget in August.
Enjoy your life on the boat!
Cheers
Kim
I think summer has been cancelled this year! The forecast for today was simply, "well, it maybe won't rain EVERYWHERE today, just most places....."!!!!
DeleteYour Mum will be delighted to be over there with you and little Alfred. I'm sure she is enjoying every second! Congratulations on his arrival and all good wishes for the future. Have a great time in August, it's a pity we won't be there but I will see the many photos I'msure!!!!
Take Care
Judith and John xx
REALLY parents! Two pubs in the same post?!!!
ReplyDeleteHello my friends !!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your daughter !!! I see lots of beers in very nice pubs...
The british sky seems blue... Perhaps Judith has painted it ???
Reading your posts, I know what is happening in Sydney, around Kim, Truls, Alfred and Suzanne !!
Just a last question... In France, we say " Femme au volant, morts au tournant " ... Is there the same expression with Judith and vasillian ??
See you soon !!!
JC
Merci JC, tu est trop gentil! En anglais on dit tout simplement "Women drivers!!!"
DeleteAujourd'hui le ciel est encore gris...
