Just checking in !

No recent blog reports as we have been without Internet. We are both ok, just very cold. The wind is strong and there has been a frost the last 2 nights. We are now at the bottom of the Buckby locks. This is near to Daventry.

I welcomed the help from a group of school children at our last lock. Yesterday we stopped at bridge 18 and walked up the lane to the Heart of the Shires. This is an old farm that has been converted into a retail outlet. Very up market. One of the shops was full of items that are the same as the ones in Dunelm ! The prices were doubled or trebled. A cream coloured mug with pastel spots , £9.

Well the sun is now out and hopefully we are going into a brighter spell now. Watch this space.......
