Happy times at Cropredy and Banbury

Tues 14th Feb to Today, Claydon to close Aynho and back to Banbury, 15.5 miles 8 locks

Wendie, Dan and the grandchildren were up during last weeks half term.  We decided Cropredy was ideal for them.  About 100 metres from the lock is a gap in the fence with a lane to Prescote Manor very close.  Very handy for Dan to stop and drop everything off before parking his truck in Cropredy.  It was also very handy for Mr Tesco to deliver us an order the day before their arrival… which meant plenty of goodies onboard!

Quality time last week… the weather was very kind.  We had expected wind and rain, but got sunshine.  It was a bit cold, but it didn’t matter, the sun was out!..

Here eldest granddaughter ready to send all three mutts into the river after one stick!!  Lucy here joined by the choc lab ‘Tilly’ and Chas and Ann’s ‘Molly’.  One or two of you who read this blog regularly will remember Tilly on her first visit to No Problem when she was a pup last July… she has grown a bit since then!

Since then we moved on down to Banbury for a couple of days.  After popping into the town for a good ‘ol browse, we continued on out of Banbury…

Just settled for a couple of days of relaxation to the south.  However, we thought we would revisit Banbury again this week, so we took the long trip to nearly Aynho to turn back…. More later
