Banbury to Somerton

10th July

Off on a Monday morning after shopping for supplies in M&S and Poundworld (couldn't be more contrasting price wise). A stop at the Pig Place for sausage supplies. A friendly pig grunted a welcome, oh dear. Red kites wheeling low overhead and the owner's doggies peeping sleepily from their kennels, this is a pleasant stop. Then an uneventful cruise through deeper locks which Pete operated, to another favourite out of the way mooring at Somerton. The view towards the large house on the hill has changed and is not quite as rustic as it was with its five bar gate, because the foreground fence has been repaired in hefty metal, shame. No cows in the field either.

Weather has changed too, cloudy today and a cool wind blows up by the time we moor, so indoors watching Murray at Wimbledon. Home from home!


- at least our bed cabin will be cool tonight.
