St Nicholas Church, Potterspury
We joined the canal path by the wharf at Yardley. It was there that we saw two swans moving down the cut breaking ice using their chests. You can see their track on the photo below.

As we cut across the fields to the River Tove we saw some hares chasing across the fields at an alarming rate. The river was flowing fast and furious but, unlike in November, well within its banks.

Our lunch at the Navigation was very good and my two pints of Batemans were a joy. They were in the middle of decorating the restaurant but the log fire was very welcoming.

After lunch we returned to Potterspury via Cosgrove and the deserted village of Furtho. The church at Furtho, St Bartholomew, was open so we looked around the disused, but still consecrated, church, signing the visitors book. Around once a year a service is held their.

We also looked inside the dovecote; a preserved historic site.
