Cosgrove, Stony Stratford and Monster Night!

Another busy weekend.  Arrived in Cosgrove on Thursday mid-day after travelling for 3 miles.  Susan and Pete set off walking across the Ouse Valley Parkland (1.5 miles) to Stony Stratford to meet friends June and Jan.

Susan and June went to Milton Keynes shopping (a large one-mile long precinct) followed by a hunt for the gold postbox erected to celebrate Greg Rutherford's win, Olympic gold medallist. Thanks to June for spending ages driving around searching for them.........

Gold Postboxes

Pete (after searching for a solid padlock to replace the broken one) and Jan spent the afternoon drinking in various pubs in Stony Stratford - what's new!!!!

Friday: Pete went to London for a retirement party whilst Susan and Mazey stayed on board and cleaned me on the inside....... then they left me and went for a walk along the canal.  They also found that the Caravan Park shop, a short distance away, was open and got a few basic provisions.  Sadly, it will close on Thursday for the winter!!

Saturday:  Susan walked across the parkland again to Stony Stratford and went to the hairdressers.  On the way she saw a greyhound bouncing around and having great fun - amazingly it had only 3 legs!!  Friends, John and Barbara, visited us for the first time in Cosgrove and stayed with Jan and June for the night.  Everyone met up for a few drinks following retail therapy for the girls in Stony Stratford.  Photo taken in The Cock, Stony Stratford.  Susan says "Thanks guys.  It was so lovely to see you again."



It was Monster night in Stony Stratford where locals get dressed up and party the night away in the many pubs.  Jan said "It was a great night.  The best he has had in Stony since moving here".   Enjoy the photos and get ready for HALLOWEEN.......
