As we set off from Kirtlington, we were grateful that the nights rain had
ceased, but the day stayed very grey until about 2 PM when the sun finally
appeared.
We spent half the morning following an unusual (and very slow) coal powered
steam narrowboat that was built along the lines of a dutch barge. We finally
managed to pass them on the approach to Aynho and had no further delays.
Brenda found a hanging basket of herbs on a lock mooring just before
Banbury. It obviously did not belong to the lock cottage and no one else was
in sight so we put it on the front of Jannock. It turned out that it
belonged to the boat travelling in front of us and they had left it on the
side after watering it and then forgotten to put it back on their boat.
We re-united them with it when we passed their overnight mooring spot
towards Cropredy.
We arrived back at our mooring to find one of the local boats occupying it.
We dropped into Moondarras mooring and tried to ring John and Terry to make
sure they weren't returning tonight. No contact with them so we just hoped
they were not returning yet.
