Braunston Historic Boat Show weekend

What a quiet weekend above the 2nd lock at Braunston!  So I got a couple of bigger projects off the list.....

Milk Churn...

and a small stool

and Richard created attractive traditional whirly rope designs to the bow of the butty and lots of other ropework projects

The show in the centre of Braunston was very busy however and we had a good look around whilst the shop was closed in the mornings.

The marina with all the visiting working boats clustered together

View towards the locks where we were moored

So this week, we met up with Richard's parents and have had a lovely time showing them the sights on the canal and working our way back towards Stoke Bruerne for the weekend.
