Thrupp to King's Sutton. It rained and rained and rained so eventually called it a day at King's Sutton. We were both getting cold and miserable so decided to light the fire and batten down the hatches whilst it continued to rain and rain and rain. It soon got cosy inside and after some lovely sausages bought from the 'pig farm' we were feeling a whole lot better.
Saturday morning dawned bright, dry but very chilly, has autumn come early this year? It was just a short trip into Banbury and after doing our domestic chores at the Banbury facilities we were amazed to find several moorings in the centre where we had arranged to meet Wayne.
Sid was do excited to meet his great granddaughter Mia who at two and a half is a delight. Wayne was so proud to introduce her to us and although we had to keep a close eye on her both around the boat and on the canal side we had a lovely time. We also met Mia's mum, Sam and her other daughters. Quite a handful for her! We will put some photos on the site on our return to Chi when Jenny will update her tablet - not before time!
Sid decided to go and fetch the car from Reading today, Sunday with the train service from Banbury being convenient. He has taken the bike so will train to Reading, cycle to the Thames and Kennet Marina, take the car to Fenny ready for our return on Tuesday/Wednesday then cycle from Fenny to Banbury!!!!
Jenny has promised him a roast dinner on his return so she better stop blogging and get back to the boat to prepare it!
