Braunston

9th/11th July 2019- Braunston

The view from Braunston down to the canal.

Change of plan, I got a call from Ron saying that Lyn has been take ill and is in hospital. Now if you ask me, this is a pretty extreme way to get out of coming on the boat. Wendy felt that she had to go and see Lyn and make sure she is ok. As it turns out, where we are moored there is a pub and Rugby is about 20 mins up the road. Wendy organised a cab and got a train to stay over. I, in the meantime, found myself alone! Jason Bourne – oh yeah! So, I got to watch ALL 3 of the originals and the super crappy legacy one with the bow and arrow man from the avengers.

The view on the way up from the canal to the town center. It has a lovely church.
Wot no sails! If you want a windmill avoid Braunston!

So, when Wendy returns we are going to stay at Braunston marina for a few nights and walk into Braunston (the pub has Hobgoblin on tap!!) and visit the Midland Chandlers to take a look at some bits for the boat.

To add to the excitement, the dog has a very upset belly once again! Its almost getting to the point where we would not feel at home unless the boat stinks of dogs arse. Still, at least the brown matches our wood.

So without Ron and Lyn joining us, we will still go down the Grand Union to Weedon as we have plenty of time on our hands.

The pub at Braunston – which has Hobgoblin on tap!!
