On Saturday, we took the dogs for a walk up to Giffard Park and then across the bridge to Great Linford Park - opposite where we were moored. What a brilliant park - loads of lovely history ! We walked back over the Railway walk and back to the boat - where we cleaned up as my sister and her hubbie were coming to visit from Kent !
At about 6 pm my Sister and my Brother in Law arrived and after showing them around our new home, we headed to the Black Horse where we did lots of catching up over a lovely dinner !
On Sunday, they came back over to the boat and we took a little trip down to the Milton Keynes Marina - where we 'chucked a U-ey' and headed back. We had a lovely day but I think we experienced every single weather pattern possible that day ! Poor little Sam - our Terrier cross - was still freaking out about being on the boat, so we took him off for a walk for a wee while to give him some land legs again !
We got back to the Black Horse and moored up right outside this time! We had a quick cuppa in the pub and bid a fond adieu to Julie and Paul - what a brilliant feeling to know that it won't be years before I see them again !
Following are some pics from the day ...

On Monday, we headed back to Yardley Gobion - and back to base in our little Marina for a few days. This Saturday, we will head back towards Milton Keynes again for a catch up with Paul's family, before finally setting off on our first great journey Northward !
Hi Elaine & Paul, Great to hear about your news and adventures and to see the wonderful pics! Keep it coming and all the very best from a very soggy (again!) Sydney! Jane & Olof xx
