Living in a hallway: Back on Familiar Territory

Not alot of travelling this week. We completed the Hatton Flight and cruised through Warrick to Napton. We spent an afternoon looking around the village. The village is at the top of a hill and for a change we had some views of the country side. The weather was starting to warm up. On the Friday we made our way back to Braunston, to moor for a week so we can make some changes to the boat and collect Kate.

The weather has really warmed up with temperatures of high 20's and low 30's with high humidity and no breeze. The boat gets quite warm in the afternoons as we are in full sun at the marina. We've had to seek out the pubs to be more comfortable. The locals tell us this is the hottest summer in 40 years.

We have ripped out the L-shaped lounge and the carpet. We have bought a couple of comfortable chairs and a nice rug. The boat now only officially sleeps four.

Yesterday we caught up with Mary and Colin who have just arrived from Oz for 3 months on their boat. We had a lovely afternoon and evening with them catching up.

Hopefully our paths will cross again before we go home.

We will be staying here in Braunston until Monday as they have a big historic boat festival on and we plan to get involved. Slim pickings for the videos and photos this week as we have spent most of our time making the boat to ours.
