Stoke Bruerne to Fenny Stratford, Grand Union Canal
We are back afloat, having spent a week ashore attending to cutting the nearly green grass of home!
So, after purchasing some Christmas cards from Stoke Bruerne shop, and some Welsh cheese from the Cheese Boat, we have proceeded with apace down the Grand Union Canal. Not so fast that we couldn't pause for a good pub lunch in the garden at The Barley Mow in Cosgrove! Most attractive soft sandstone bridge in Cosgrove - Gothic - and apparently unique among canal bridges.
So many bridges today as we wended our way through Milton Keynes - not used to bridges - so few across the river Nene and Great Ouse. There is a very clever, long mural painted depicting canal boats with a modern slant ie aircraft being transported by boat!
Our day was fine and bright, but there is a most definite feel of autumn in the air.
