A lucky angler!
We continued north with the unnamed boat on the Saturday and both stopped at Leighton Buzzard to shop. We took on water at the water point by the road bridge. A wee
ping willow by the tap spreads out over the canal is very overgrown. It creates interesting navigation!

Our companions stopped off at Willowbridge where they wanted to leave they boat and we continued to Simpson mooring up for the night outside The Plough.

On the Sunday, Father's Day, we were joined by our daughter Emily and grandson Hugh for the final journey home to Kingfisher Marina. We found a spot near Great Linford for a picnic and our son-in-law Andy joined us.

After we got back to the marina the heavens opened - again!
