They rarely do.
A short hop through Godstow Lock, down passed Port Meadow and into Osney (Oxford) for a Tesco delivery. That's as far as we went as the wind was evil so we called it a day
Last night was full of dramatic skies
as the predicted front came through
and this morning a boat passed as we were about to leave so we suggested NP went through with them with a Tesco delivery imminent - I locked both boats through as, inevitably now it seems, the locks are on DIY
the light and shade this morning was so intense
MR on the lock landing whilst I work the lock
a fair old assortment of derelicts
and look at this tree felling going on - Vic and I were apoplectic. The piles sorted by lengths of wood of similar diameter - producing a Hannibal Lectar salivation from me
Nice, but unusual, decoration on the side of this narra
and then a long circular walk up to the South Oxford Canal and Wolvercote Lock before returning across Port Meadow and the Thames Path
a lovely walk and, with Sue's good planning, the majority of the wind at our backs
we met a fair few cyclists today that I would have gladly dunked but, sadly, Muttley didn't perform
I've got a sneaking feeling that G & V might be teaming up to undertake a midnight raid on that boaters gold tonight.... LOL
