Well worth the wait at Braunston..

Moored Puddlebanks, Braunston, Oxford Canal

Took the opportunity to nip into Daventry this morning to pick up a couple of bits and bobs.  On the bus back, phoned Wendie to ask her to check with Braunston Post Office that they didn’t have my mothers day pressie.. “If you don’t hear back from me Mum, it isn’t there” said she.  Well it makes a difference, you see, on whether I get off the bus at Braunston Marina or stay on it to take me up the hill to Braunston village itself.. no phone call, so exited the bus at the Marina..

Five minutes later an ecstatic Wendie “It’s there! It’s there!”.. I had mixed feelings about that!

I had a rucksack full of fresh meat from the butchers in Daventry.. it was heavy.  It’s quite a drag up the hill to the post office!! All the staff in the shop that has the Post Office in it knew about it.. “It’s here! It’s here!”…

Ah but, a lovely basket of fruit, a beautiful box of chocs and a lovely note that any mother would be over the moon about, thankyou Wendie …

To Mum
Happy Mothers Day!!
Thanks for being there, and
for being my Mum
Love as always
Wendie

So tomorrow we can move on.  It has been very windy again today and pretty wet too.  It’s that tunnel tomorrow..
