Its been a thoroughly enjoyable couple of days here at Wadenhoe.
What we didn't know about until we visited is that a great part of the village is held by the Wadenhoe Trust, you can read all about them HERE but the quick version is to keep the village just so, a village that does not become a dormitory for wealthy commuters and for second homes.

Watering up prior to departure |
Another one of those sunny days that I like so much, off we set. Rather nice around here.

Yarwood just disappearing around the bend |
We landed at Thrapston after just a short hop and moored up on very nice visitor moorings. I glimpsed a Kingfisher but sadly, although I watched and watched I didn't see it again the whole time we were there.
In the afternoon I joined Lesley to walk her boys. Lesley has been on the River Nene previously and she showed me a lovely walk further along the river to Denford, to the Cock pub but it was closed! So we walked back again and had a drink in the sun in Islip at The Woolpack, then home to the men.

Stolen from Facebook but it made me laugh. |
Supper was chicken salad with fresh fruit.
