First Visitors

Last night we did a bit of a pub crawl. Visited The Crown, The Bridge and The Kings Head to see if they were suitable establishments to take our friends Christine and Glyn to today. After sampling a beer in each and dinner in the last we decided although all very nice in their own way we wouldn't go to any of them.

We didn't get a fourth day of sunshine today, instead, it was showers and quite windy but the forecast is for sun tomorrow. Since we had the car we drove back to the butchers in Braunston for Mince, steaks and of cause one of their pork pies.


Glyn and Christine arrived at 1130am and brought us gifts of mugs, egg cups and homemade marmalade and damson jam.


After a tour of the boat and a cup of tea we went to The Folly Inn for lunch and a couple of Hookys. and soft drinks for the girls. It's always a good laugh to catch up on what they have been up to. 
I Think Glyn posed for the painting on my mug.

The day went quickly and Christine and Glyn drove back down south at 5pm. 





Fun day over back to polishing the boat tomorrow.
