Very surprised that we are getting internet at Braunston tonight.
We slowly cruised to Braunston where, after watering and emptying the
loo, we were lucky enough to moor right outside the marina again. We have been
very lucky being able to consistently moor here.
Brenda went shopping while I dumped the rubbish and gave the roof
tools another coat of paint. I got one hell of a scare when I opened the
industrial wheelie bin used for the rubbish. It was a seething mass of rats. I
hate rates.
We then walked up into the village again to try out the Wheatsheaf.
From the outside this looks like somebody’s house. I wasn’t convinced it hadn’t
been sold but was assured it was still a pub. Once inside it is much bigger than
it looks, going back a long way. It is a proper local’s local. A working man’s
drinking den. I felt right at home but Brenda felt a little out of place.
Back at the boat we had a home cooked Sunday dinner with roast chicken
and real gravy.
Weather: pleasant for the time of year.
