Continuing back up the River Nene, we had a chance to stop at some of the places we’d missed on the way down.

Interesting to see the different uses for the old phone boxes. This one has a book swap section as well as a defibrillator. Didn’t check how saucy the books were though!

Oundle is a must to visit. Late on a Sunday afternoon is the ideal time as there’s very little traffic or people about to clutter up your photos.

After the IWA Festival it was back up the Northampton Flight – with a couple of kiwi friends who joined us for two weeks (Anna is on the left of the picture).
A note from Sandra
For those who’ve been following recently, this post marks the end of Barry’s Top 50 for 2015. He was a tad hasty however in his calculations, and has decided he can’t stop here – he’s got two more blogs with ten photos in each to come before the end of the year!
I’ve been a very busy facepainting fairy every weekend since we arrived at Mercia Marina, so I’m looking forward to some ‘time off’ after a birthday party on Tuesday.
We’re travelling up and down the country over the Christmas period, from Derby to Malpas, then Lichfield; south east to Brighton, across to Porstmouth (and going on a Hovercraft ride to The Isle of Wight for the day on 28th December – Barry’s 60th birthday gift from me), and finally Southampton before heading north once again.
It’s likely we’ll be back on board before New Year if anyone’s thinking of coming for visit – do drop us an email first!
Enjoyed the images and the stories. . All the best for Christmas from the Kinge’s in Warrnambool Vic
