Titchfield

We met friends at Titchfield Mill for lunch on Sunday. Then walked through the quaint old village and found a stream for Molly to swim in.  May well have been a canal?

Back down Claydon

We turned round by the pub and headed down the Claydon locks after a day of rain.
Here we are waiting in the queue of two in front at the top lock.
It was slow going because both boats in front were single handed! But at least they were helpful with Ann sharing the work.  Many boats coming up as well.
No TV signal at the bottom so we got on line to see the end of the F1 racing and Bake off.

Getting 'on line' to watch TV is a new skill to learn.  I had to register and log on to Channel 4 to watch the F1 race.  My account with them even knows my home address!  The iPad refused to run the selected program because it lacked some essential facility.  I am collecting specific Apps on the iPad to get the various TV channels either live or 'catch up'.  OK on the Mac without Apps once I had logged back on to C4!  The screen is bigger anyway and my head hurts after all that!

I have a 'smart phone' now to get on line by making it a 'Personal Hotspot'. I have nearly abandoned the use of the 'Osprey' MyFi dongle because I only use it on the boat, not at home. Not worth the  monthly expense when we are not on board!

Company to Fenny

 We are pleased with the pram canopy made by A J Canopies Ltd from Braunston
 Our sister in law Ann came to stay on board and we headed up to Fenny.
The moorings filled up after we arrived on Friday.  Went off for a meal at the Wharf Inn.
