Buckby Locks

A quiet day today.  We began the journey by starting to water-up at the tap by the first of the 7 Buckby Locks.  Before we had filled out tank another boat came by to start their descent.  It is much easier to go through double locks as a pair so we quickly disconnected the hose and joined them.  Together we completed the flight in about 2 hours and then they went on as we moored at the bottom for lunch and to investigate nearby  farm shop advertised on the towpath.  It didnt take us much deliberation to decide to stay where we were for the rest of the day and to continue our journey in the morning.
