Today that's what it feels like!!
However it has not been like this for all of our stay here so cannot complain too loudly.
We stayed on the very congenial mooring just short of the 48 hour places. It was very handy for walking Barney around the reservoir and also not too bad a trip to Tesco's. However it was a 25 min walk to the station for my trip to London to see Emma and Dave on Friday.
This was a brief but pleasant trip to collect mail. Emma and I had a lovely walk along the banks of Old Father Thames on Saturday morning followed by cooked breakfast in their local greasy spoon....very good it was too. Later I met Maggie for an early supper before catching the train back to Banbury.
Sunday we went to St Mary's Church in the centre of Banbury and then we had been invited to Ian & Christine Gillespies for Sunday lunch. Sadly Geoff was not too well so I went alone. I joined them for Choral Evensong in their local church in Deddington before they ran me home, where I found an ailing Geoffrey who had been asleep most of the afternoon.
We decided it as time to move and had intended to go through the lock and visit the sani station and then see where we ended up. However the promised rain started as we reached the centre and as there was a convenient mooring place we decided to call it a day.......and as you can see below we did not travel far!..
The forecast for tomorrow does not seem much better so we may stay over and take our full 48 hours we are allowed.
Total distance:0.64 miles
Elapsed time:0h22m46s

Bridges:3
Average speed:1.69 mph (1.69 lock/mph)
