we walked past this field in the pm, and the next morning, this fella was there.

 The farmer built this bridge for his daughters wedding, so that she could have pics taken. The lovely farmhouse is over to the right and the bridge is carved with " The Wedding Bridge MM1X" 

 Tonights mooring and possible tomorrows.

Found that we had a 12v/isolator problem, so had to hot foot to Fenny Compton, and a lovely bloke from Mitchell Narrowboats, helped us out and eventually got us going again.

On to this great mooring just above Claydon Locks.

So today has been a bit of a frazzled day.  Had a go at another self-pump out and it seems to be working great. and whilst we were doing this, Finlay sloped off through a gap in the hedge, and gave us a merry chase around some fields.  I was a bit worried as fields further on had sheep. So with the help of Ben the cairn, he eventually came back, although he got into the wrong field, which was completely fenced,! ,   Mick, was in the wrong field on the wrong side of the canal, that left Jim with a bad hand, to clamber over some barbed wire, oooh, careful there, get Finlay in his arms , pass him over a gap to me, and back to the boat,  No dinner for Finlay, an extra G and T for me, the stress, you know !!!!!!  and tomorrows another day.   but guess who is going to be tethered from now on.
