Had a long lie. Finally up to lovely morning (if cool); much improved on previous days, with wind down and more sun. Plan for day is walk around Braunston to soak up the atmosphere.
Walked to Bottom Lock shop and back before lunch. Managed to get hold of another Alan Firth print. Had lunch aboard, then walked into village and back. Visited the church. Did some essential shopping.
