Visit

Margaret came to join us from Banbury to Thrupp. She experienced the palaver of car moving so that we have a car at our destination. Not easy and sometimes impossible. Still we managed to have both our cars in Thrupp, so that we could drive into Oxford for a day's sightseeing. We left Pete behind minding the boat. He and I will visit the dreaming spires another day when we are moored nearer.
What a beautiful city. We were enthralled by the university buildings. Their tranquil grandeur must provide the perfect setting for those privileged students to focus on their work. Mind you, they clearly enjoy their (also privileged) time off - see M's photo, taken at the foot of the stairs to rooms!
Hooray, Henry.

Margaret braved the air bed, experienced the Cobb BBQ, worked locks and was very appreciative. You cannot have private time on a narrowboat but she never complained!

I returned home for a couple of days to help move Dan's stuff back to our house, so that he is free to move up to London again to start the next phase in his life. Look out, Olly and Fran.


Yes - it is all champagne! .........
