We woke up to a lovely day but I don’t think the good
weather is going to last.
It was farewell to Wigrams this morning as we pulled away
from our pontoon and headed to the canal.
It was nice to get away but we were only heading to Braunston as Richard
wanted to return something to Midland Chandlers. We had had our stove condemned at the end of
last winter as the collar had split and carbon monoxide could have been coming
out. A few weeks ago Richard had bought
a new collar and we had asked the engineer at Wigrams if he could fit it. In the end the engineer was able to weld the
old collar so we really didn’t need a spare.
Midland Chandlers refunded the money on the old one without
question. We also bought a tin of stove
paint as the top of the stove is looking really bad.
We then headed back towards Napton and moored up just before
Bridge 100. After lunch I tried to get
on the internet but to no avail so we moved to the other side of the bridge
where it worked a treat!
During the afternoon we were passed by Timothy West and
Prunella Scales on, what we assume to be, their own boat. I missed the name but did notice that it was
from Banbury. Pru was down the side deck
doing something which worried me a bit with her dementia getting worse.

That was about it for today.
I’m afraid that we both slobbed out all afternoon – I think that the
craziness of our time at home must have caught up with us!
