Our journey southwards was held up for the end of May bank holiday weekend with a fallen tree.
Not too bad as the Galleon pub was just over the bridge.
Our trip to the south was to attend our friend’s retirement ‘do’. She’d been the landlady of the Bricklayers Arms in Luton for 40 years.
We moored in Leighton Buzzard, a bus ride to Luton. The day after our retirement party was Leighton Buzzard’s food festival. It was a gorgeous day, so the High Street was packed.
There were lots of food stalls from around the world to choose from, we chose the Sri Lankan one. Street entertainers and excellent music on the stage.
A jay visited our bird feeder several times a day, quite unusual as they’re quite timid. We made friends with a robin in a pub garden.
We’ve had a good many encounters with herons & geese. We were relieved the one on the roof didn’t leave his ‘calling card’!!
In early June, we hopped on a train to Chorley for Astrid’s first birthday party.
It was tricky to find a mooring place in Berkhamsted. No wonder as it’s a super little town.
