Away from it all !!

Thanks to T-mobile, 2 days of no blogging! technology eh? Still 40 something locks, first staircase, a tunnel, 2 turns diesel and water later, and we are at Braunston turn. A short run to "home". Question is if we run home or carry on past!!
In common with the boat in front of me tonight "I need to be in Bath in August" and the boat behind "We're heading to the Weaver for the winter"" we'll do whatever tomorrow brings..
By the way - I've joined the vintage engine repair team!! Running into the lock, forward, and little reverse, then forward..... come on forward.... why she's going backwards now... OK - down below, kill the engine - ahhhh, the linkage has dis-assembled itself from the ceiling.!! screwdriver, screws, 15 minutes and the engine was back on, and we were off again !!
Hang on - the gearbox is new! the 1954 engine has been running perfectly!!
