This episode was meant to be a tour of our narrowboat.
However, we haven't had time to film that because we spend about three to four hours walking... to pick up some keys
We hit some congestion here, there were two boats going up and
our little boat going down
And infront of us apparently is a widebeam
being single handed through a lock
And then two other boats, so that's why a two hour journey is taking four hours (laughs)
So what happened at the lock?
Oh, so hireboat people
exiting a lock
And leaving the paddles open
I mean paddles up, doors open
They did it for about four locks in a row
So Kath and I had to frog march them
back to the top lock
To put the paddles down and shut the doors.
We didn't make any friends!
Just listen to that for a minute
It is just the sound of the birds...
Kath's going through a lock by herself and I'm setting the next one
And it's just a glorious day!
and peaceful
There's not another boat in sight. Which is unfortunate because we could use another one in the locks.
But there's just so much peace
One of my favourite days!
So here we are on the Grand Union Canal
Again
You may have noticed ... theres' no sign of our boat
Why is that?
We had to leave our boat
So now we're walking back to our marina
Because they have a chandlery. That may or may not have a key... and if they don't...
Here we are doing the opposite of what we were meant to be doing
Travelling at high speed. On a big road
With no beautiful country side
Because I broke the ignition key!
So we are going to a place
That regular viewers will know we love
Braunston!!!
Because I've heard that there may or may not be a spare key there.
We just moored up
Bit of drama mooring up
Even though Kath did it perfectly- didn't hit anything
Somebodies in our spot. and now we are in a different spot
We've all paid our mooring fees though
So we are going to have to sort that out
more ''drama''! (laughs)

I think this swan knows we are in the wrong spot
He hissed at me.
So I shall call him 'Hissy' and he shall be my Hissy!... Here Hissy
