Slowly en route

Back to life in the slow lane so we are off to a gentle start

Just the 3 gentle locks at Hillmorton today

We decided on an early start as there seemed to be a lot of boats about, so we were off just after 7.30, only to discover that several other people had the same idea!

However with the two locks side by side at Hillmorton it was not a great problem.  

It doesn`t really seem like June weather to me.  Very chilly mornings although the sun made a reluctant appearance later on......no rain so we must be thankful.

First swan family of the year.  Mum and Dad hissed at Barney as we went past!

We have moored well outside Braunston which is a nice spot but a it will be a bit of a hike in for our breakfast at the Gongoozlers Rest tomorrow.
