Radford Semele to Long Itchington

We left Radford Semele in leisurely fashion Saturday morning

Because of the distances between the first 6 locks we couldn’t lash the two boats together, so Sue had some company on the back in the locks

Happy people finishing the day’s locking with the 4 at Bascote (including the two lock staircase).

We moored at Long Itchingdon in plenty of time for a pint at The Two Boats Inn before settling down in front of the TV to watch Strictly.
About 11.00pm, we had an unexpected visitor; it was puddy cat Nemo (from NB Beefur) who availed himself of Daisy’s cat flap to pop into the well deck for a quick hello – fortunately, Daisy had long since tucked herself up in bed and neither dog batted an eyelid.
When we woke Sunday morning, a third cat was watching us from the far bank.

G and I took ourselves off for a walk down the disused railway line

This chimney reminds me of Chickin’ Lickin’  as it appears to be holding up the sky.

    Hi both, I see you are making good use of Live Writer - do you like it? I've used it for so long now that i've forgotten how to do a post directly n Blogger. Just one tiny thing - your photos need to be a bit bigger as it is really difficult to see any detail!

    Hi Pip, yes I do like it but not really got to grips yet - is it obvious how I make pics bigger? Love to Roger xx
