Tuesday we were invited to Carol and Phil's where we had a BBQ and Ruby spent the time chasing a ball.
We also took the dogs for a walk across the park.

 Today we had a long cruise of about an hour to moor in Leighton Buzzard where we are going to stay for a day or two.

After a five hour cruise tonight we are moored at Old Linslade just outside Leighton Buzzard.
Where we ate my first attempt at a egg and bacon pie.

 As we walked from the shops we learnt that the 1st October is Older persons Day funny that is Hilary's birthday!!!!
As it was such a lovely day it was time for another BBQ.

 Though being moored in the middle of Milton Keynes it feels we are middle of the country.

 We have moved off the Campell Park moorings and moved a few yards where they are building a new Marina and housing for the Bedford to Milton Keynes Link

 Today was a different day weather wise a bit warmer as we have cruised to Campbell Park in Milton Keynes.

What a difference a day makes, the day before we were having a BBQ on the towpath and yesterday it was shut up the boat and light the stove.

Today we stayed moored up so chance to give the boat the first polish after winter.
Also another chance for a BBQ.

First BBQ of our summer trip

What a brilliant day to travel down Stoke Bruerne Locks

 Because rain was forecast for today we decided to stay in Stoke Bruerne but as you can see in the bottom photo its pouring down rain!

 Yesterday we passed where The Maisibert started to tackle a very cold and wet Blisworth Tunnel

 Today we tackled the Buckby Flight to moor tonight in Weedon Bec.

Yesterday we left Braunston after meeting John and Jackie for a meal the night before.
Travelling through Braunston Tunnel and then cruising on to Norton Junction to meet Dianne and Peter.

 After picking Hilary up in Rugby we decided to cruise on and moored just outside Braunston.
Then we helped Cassie celebrate her tenth birthday.

New Futon mattress, new Fridge, rotten ply removed from the rear hatch and replaced with plastic.
The Maisibert droopy buttons cured it must mean the sun is setting on our winter stay in Brinklow.
