It's funny really, just about to go under the M40, camera ready and not a vehicle in sight. All I got was this tractor unit. Not even a glitzy trailer on the back.
Regular blog readers will have seen this house before. A picture of Dink and Malc on the front. We have waved to them before now but they were nowhere in sight today. Had to say hello to the dogs instead.
Moored with difficulty in Banbury. We pulled in OK but the wind got a hold on the back of the boat which went zooming across the canal, nearly dragging the captain in as well. We managed to get everything back under control but to keep the boat in place we rigged up a spring which means that we have three mooring ropes, two of them at different angles. This effectively stops the boat from doing its own thing and wandering off all over the place. After that a walk up Parson's Street past Ye Olde Reine Deer Inn.
A little further on, our favourite eating place, Pizza Calzone.
A happy captain!
We started with Calamari.
Followed by Pizza and Ravioli.
Which all went down rather well.
And a gift from the management, a panna cotta. Delicious!
All this followed by some retail therapy and top up of the store cupboard.
Wind has died down, 10 to 7 in the evening, time to settle in, have the remnants of my pizza from earlier and tuck the boat up for the night.
