Chamberlain Carrying Co. has had a busy couple of weeks, since leaving Stoke Bruerne..
This was an end panel for a pigeon box (the box is a vent which sits on roof of boat covering engine room skylight). A commission collected from Blisworth show.

Local newspaper wanted some footage of the Blisworth show
Watering can didn't stay on the shelf long!
Gayton Junction looking quiet for a change!
An early start leaving Blisworth on Tuesday morning after a day of rest and shopping
The container boat is coming on with bow doors fitted and a barby on the foredeck!
Overgrown bits are getting moreso
Campsite was busy!
I love the signwriting on this boat
Round the bend after Weedon
The old boy is still sitting there!
and on to Whilton and the cafe for breakfast, well it would be rude not to drop by
New train and new boats as we climb up Buckby locks
After mooring just past Norton Junction, we began early again to tackle Braunston tunnel
Top lock at Braunston with the cottage for sale behind if anyone is looking for a desirable residence with 3 acres!
Dropping down
Looking for a pace to moor can be tricky in Braunston!
Shopping done and a visit to the Community Cafe and our lovely friends Jenni and Chris
I awoke this morning to lovely misty views and Richard replacing the contacts on the tunnel lamp...
Next we will be travelling towards Alvecote for the Historic Boat Rally on Bank holiday weekend. A great weekend of entertainment and meeting old friends. Meanwhile, I have to paint as commissions are coming in all the time.....
