Quiet Time Pondering at Calcutt

14th Sept - Napton Junction to Calcutt Locks, Grand Union Canal, 1 mile 0 locks
Today - Moored Calcutt Locks, Grand Union Canal

Popped round the corner on Tuesday and visited Calcutt Marine to discuss the new BMC 1.8 engine that we are having fitted in October, and to talk about what spec we require. Gonna pick up the estimate and final spec on Friday, and if we are happy will book No Problem in for some time in mid October.

Spent the last few days quietly. We have been discussing our final choice of spec for the engine, and spending some time walking with Lucy. There are some lovely walks around here, a footpath goes off at Calcutt Top Lock, and there are many different walks from there for miles over the surrounding countryside. Very enjoyable. Fishing has been a bit hit and miss as the weather has been very blustery with plenty of showers each day, not conditions I enjoy

Tomorrow I think we will trickle on down to The Folly at Napton and treat ourselves to one of their delicious pies with a pint in the evening. I need some milk anyway, and the shop in the village does have some supplies.

AJ have said that the canopy will be repaired by tomorrow night, but by the time we have come back here to pick up our estimate, I guess we won't be back in Braunston until Monday......... Anyway, on the way back to Braunston, I want to stop where we did last weekend, ummmm that super fish I caught might be there again with some of his larger friends!
