Monday we left a great mooring-Again- and moved up to Cropredy for water, even though there was loads of it falling from the sky. Cold and wet, so like everyone else we moored up and called it a day. 30 mins later, after hot shower, warm soc ks on, and a nice cup of tea, we felt a bit more human. It’s still part of narrowboating and good fun, though.
Inbetween showers we took Finlay for a walk…………………OFF THE LEAD> ! it was fine going up the canal, but when we turned around, he had spied a little snicket into a cow field with …..RABBITS. Gone in 30 seconds. Mick was annoyed and upset, saying he won’t be able to find his way back to us, will get lost, etc. I pointed out the dogs have terrific noses and that Finlay would be able to smell us, I mean he would be able to smell Mic k and therefore he would come back. Buy the time I had finished this diatribe( is that the correct word ?), Finlay, was behind Mick. Tongue lolling( that could be smiling, I guess), and smelling a bit suspicious ( cow dung). Seeing as he is having such a miserable time, we let him enjoy being whiffy.
Tuesday onto Banbury. Met up with Rick and Val, which was lovely. They are a bit naughty, ‘cos they always take us out for lunch, and they always turn up with a pressy for me and a bottle of red for Mick. Naughty but very nice. Had a good natter and catch up with them, and we will be meeting up again, when we go through Weedon.and hopefully,( its here in print,Rick and Val), we will be visiting each others’gaffs over the winter.

( We bought 2 water pistols for 2 young lads that live on the south coast,I think we had better by a few more to even things up a bit, as we will be visiting in July .!!!!!!.... another good reason to stop in Banbury)
Cousin John and Wife Sue, and their chums, will be starting their NB holiday on Saturday---- looks like they have made the weather turn good for them, anyway. They hire a …………69footer !!!!! and they will be cruising the lovely 4 counties ring. Lucky beggars.
Have a good one, but I will give you a call sat or Sunday anyway. Hope you don’t suffer with The Wind.!
We have now moved down to Aynho. Met a very nice couple called Chris and Joy on NB Wrens Nest and their puss, Jade.( a stylish british smooth hair). She certainly has chutzpah, as she helped herself to Finlay's chair.! Finlay scuttled off into the boat. Cor, and I remember the days when he would have given chase.

Today ,Thursday, will be staying put,as the weather is hot, hot , hot. And its washing day, boat cleaning day, bbq day etc. then we will turn back and have a day and night in Banbury again. Fancy another lunch out, R and V ????? The town is lovely and Mick and I really enjoyed staying there. And now that we have done all the sight-seeing, I am going off on my own to “do” the Charity shops…..looking for boat treasures, antique velvet etc. There is also Debenhams, Monsoon( my very fave shop),H&M etc., but can’t really justify any more clothes. Don’t wear some that I have. However some of the boaty clothes are now resembling rags and cleaning cloths so maybe……….
