Bye Leighton Buzzard.....

9th Dec - Cruising Milton Keynes/Leighton Buzzard, Grand Union Canal, 2 miles 1 lock

We will be back no doubt.  Busy day today.... This morning as the sun broke through the clouds Vic decided to chomp up all the wood collected yesterday into manageable bits, which I put on the roof as neatly as I could.  Some of the very large chunk that was on the back deck is now inside on the log stack.  Wow that was a HUGE piece, for sure will last us well over a week. 

Pulled into the visitor moorings at Linslade, and promptly smacked into something  underwater, it could only be one thing outside Tesco, and using the large boat hook Vic fished the inevitable Tesco trolly out of the canal.  I wish they would bar the way to the canal with bollards or do as most supermarkets do now and have them so you put a pound in the slot for the trolly, payable back when you take it to the proper trolly park.

Had a look over at Homebase while we were there.  The rucksack come trolly has a broken strap, it is actually rivotted on, but Vic thinks he can use a couple of small bolts and a bit of wood to repair it!  Remains to be seen that does

Nipped into Tesco to pick up a couple of large bottles of Baileys, they are under a tenner at the moment, a price I couldn't resist.  Well it's Christmas soon, I will enjoy a tipple or two of that!

Late afternoon we cruised for a while leaving Moore2Life as Chas and Anne's post had not arrived today.  They decided to stay put hoping to catch us up tomorrow all being well.  There is a pub near here, so we are going to pop out for a pint or two this evening..... errr well I will have a pint in two glasses on the bar tonight because "It's more in keeping with girlies"!! ... (I wouldn't want people to think I am a lesbian!!  )

Vic's telling me to hurry...... gotta go ..
