Bill does a bit of maintenance!

After a hard day, time for refreshments at the Barley Mow in Cosgrove!

The spots on this picture were due to the table next to us being served with a sizzling steak!!

There was a meet at the pub for vintage motor bikes

We approach the flight of locks at Stoke Bruerne, prior to going through  the 2795 metres Blisworth tunnel
