Wellingborough and beyond

Our groceries are running low and we have been reduced to using our emergency stock of tins.  After leaving at 8:55  we arrived at Wellingbrough 45 minutes later where the nearby Tesco provides our first opportunity for a comprehensive shop since left Peterborough.

Because of Covid concerns Denise went to the supermarket on her own whilst I filled the water tank, again for the first time since Peterborough.  She returned fully laden 80 minutes later but we stayed moored at Wellingborough until after lunch.

Then on through the unremarkable agricultural countryside,  travelling fairly slowly because of the flow in the river, until we arrived near Doddington where the long stretch of FOTRN moorings provided a good place to stop for the night.
