It was so hot boating yesterday we resolved to make an early start and believe it or not we did, slipping our mooring a 7am just as another early riser slid out of Cropredy Lock. I guess they were far earlier than us as all the locks were in our favour all the way up to the bottom of the Claydon flight.
At Claydon we slowly followed a Calcutt hire boat all the way up but once at the top lock they were gone and we didn’t see them again until we arrived at Fenny Compton.
We did more chores, a pump out at Fenny Marina and after mooring up close to The Wharf Inn we did our washing at the pub’s launderette and made arrangements with Penny, the landlady about our forthcoming Ruby Wedding Celebration.
Here’s hoping the anniversary party was all you hoped for!
Many congratulations.
