Not the time to get run over by a bus

The dirty laundry is now starting to take over the boat and we're getting down to the underwear that you wouldn't want the paramedics to see!!! We know that there is water available at Thrapston but we still can't get under Isis Footbridge until the water level falls further and we'd rather be stuck here than by the busy road bridge in Thrapston.

So Lesley and I made the most of the beautiful and unexpected weather and set off with the dogs to Woodford where we found the dog friendly Dukes Head. 7 Real Ales and a good choice of food on the menu (eg braised venison cutlets) all at £5 Mon-Fri lunch-times instead of the usual £8/9. We didn't eat there, but it looked nice and the Ale was good.

 This pub is opposite the green; there are others and a fish and chip shop

 Ideally placed for a change of scene across footpaths from Denford - no more than 30 minutes by the direct route

 We extended the walk and returned by a different route across beautiful countryside under

 big open skies

 approaching Denford along the river

 and back to the boats where we left the dogs and went for a thorough poke around the village

After we finished the photo shoot it was 4pm - just in time to join the men for a pint at the Cock Inn (doesn't open until 4 Mondays and Tuesdays except B Holidays) before returning to the boats to make dinner. Another lovely day.
