Micks Double Glazing has worked, in the saloon area.  We can’t see out properly, but at least we don’t have to wear a scarf around our necks, when the wind is blowing against the windows.  Result.

We awoke Friday morning to the sound of 2 neighbouring Bulls having a “ bellow-off”.  We experienced this last year on the Oxford.  Boy can they make a noise.

Foxton was brill. We had thought that we would have a long wait, due to the Working Boat Festival taking place down the locks and into the Market Harborough arm, but we didn’t have time to fill up with water, and we were down them in 50 mins.  With a little help from some small children, that I bullied into opening and closing gates. NOT.  The kids are lining up to help, and all looking appealingly at any boater that happens to catch their eye. Great. Seriously. !

2 nights at Market Harborough then.  Hey, it’s a bit posh down here. The houses that we pass are ENORMOUS, and everyone has a rather cut glass accent, how naice. Even the shop assistants !. So Sat,. night, and it’s a wander out into town, and the pub, and then a nice girl in Mountain Warehouse told me ab out a nice family-run Italian rest for dinner. !  mmmmm.

Bugger, we should have booked. It was a lovley little restaurant, and it was full.

 So, off to Pizza Express we went, for great thin based pizzas. When we had finished we told the waiter that we were Pizza Express Virgins , as it was the first time for us, he then went on to tell us that so was he, as he was…………………..SPANISH. ! Whey hey,  we had a lovely chat with him, and he was thrilled to talk with us. I think.  He is married to an english lady and they have 2 kids,but as times are tough in Spain, he is here working.Fancy that.

We loved Market Harborough. It would be a great place to meet family and friends.

However, its Easter Sunday and its bleddy cold, so we have pulled up early.

Cava, Roast Beef and Easter Eggs. !!!!!!

There you go, Gerry. I have mentioned CAVA !!!!

 All the dogs have been having a sniff of My Little Pony. !
