More Visitors & Back Towards Banbury

Saturday we woke to very heavy rain and we decided to stay put for the day. The rain persisted until 2.00 when it started to easy a bit. As we stayed put for the day we got on with a few jobs. The most important one being for us making the wine that we had brought from Barry from the home brew boat a while ago. It's a very easy quick and a cheap way to make wine, we have had red wine so we are making some white this time.

Boat In The Field And The Washing Is Out

Sunday we untied and moved off around 10.30. We are heading to Napton On The Hill as we have  Malcolm & Linda friends from suffolk visiting us.
We had a really steady cruise with most of the locks against us but that was fine as the weather although windy was nice and warm. We moored between the lock 8 and 9. The weather got very windy just after we moored but we needed a Sunday newspaper so we walked in to Napton to the shop and brought what we needed, on returning to Tacet it started to rain.

Monday just after 12.00 our friends arrived and had brought lunch also a bag of wood (take note sons). We had a really great time catching up with Them both and as always,  all to soon it was time to say our goodbyes. They have a long drive back to suffolk and the wind had really picked. It was  great to see you both.

Linda & Malcolm

The wind got really strong so we battened down the hatches for the evening.
Tuesday the wind had died down a bit so we filled with water and done the necessary and headed back up the locks as we are going back to Banbury as our oldest son may be visiting with our grandson we hope he can but it's not for certain yet.

This Flew Over 

We are moored at bridge 122 and the wind has eased a lot. Tomorrow we are heading to Fenny Compton
