We have now stopped for lunch at a peaceful spot

Day 5

Here we find the lesser spotted wendy wall at the wheel, this is a rare sight indeed

Even on holiday the chores have to be done!

Coming down through Hillmorton lock flight – apparently the busiest locks in the country – but not today!

A view from the front

 

And the view outside for tonight.

Its been a good day, started very warm but has cooled down towards the evening.

Day 4

We have found a lovely quiet spot on the Oxford canal, no other boats moored near us although being the ‘main line’ there is a lot of passing boats but everyone seems friendly.

Wendy has started the day putting her body and mind at rest with some Yoga

And some more visitors today

I know my Aussie family will laugh but it’s been really hot today. We made a good call to stay where we are!
