We are at Stoke Bruerne for this weekend for the Friends of the Stoke Bruerne Museum's Family Festival, so if you are in the area, please call in and see us all.
Nice and wide on the Grand Union, so a bit more line is fine!
So after Weedon, we travelled on to the tunnel at Blisworth and through to Stoke Bruerne.
Entrance to the Blisworth tunnel (ref> Wikipedia), the third longest in the country apparently and extremely wet!
Winding below lock 3
Half way - you could get a 70footer round there easily!
And there we are facing the right way to moor back above the locks for the festival
We have spent a lot of time waiting for the Festival and now we are nearly there. It is quite exciting, but scary too as we don't know if we will have enough stock etc.
Inside the Canal Museum at Stoke Bruerne - interesting but a little expensive to get in
Typical decorative items from the era
Elum off the replica stern of a butty complete with realistic 'back cabin'
Inside the cabin where all the family would sleep after a hard day's boating
Geraldine and Michael off the Cheese Boat, invited us out for a meal in the pub the other night for Geraldine and my birthdays for last week.
Michael playing with my new camera, and no I didn't drink all the champagne myself!
Thank you guys for a lovely evening!
So, we are here, the dawn of the festival. Come and see us if you can and say hello!
