Trip to Braunston

Although we didn't plan to move today the weather was so nice this morning it was a shame not to make the most of it, so we have made a trip to Braunston, and will return tomorrow back to Hillmorton.  It was really hot, once at Braunston we had a wander around the Chandlers and bought a few bits, we also went to Tradline Ropes and Fenders and got the center lines shortened which we bought a couple of weeks ago, as they were a bit too long.  A wander around the village, followed by a late lunch in the pub and a few drinks as we were quiet thirsty by then!
