Wallingford

Firstly, my apologies for lack of blogs. Jenny has been technically challenged and many of our readers may have noticed Sid has not had many beers with Jenny for a while.

We left Hunters Moon in the Thames and Kennet Marina for a few days after we came off the Kennet and Avon Canal. We really enjoyed the K and A despite some of the bad press it gets from fellow narrowboaters.

On our return we headed to Henley for a couple of nights. This was an occasion when if we had known the Henley Festival was on we would not have ventured there. However, with a little manipulation of other boats we got moored and really enjoyed the buzz around the town. We were also treated to nightly fireworks. Sadly, the weather turned really wet and miserable which didn't seem to dampen the spirits.

It was a sight to behold on Sunday morning, as we  sat dry and cosy on board, watching the queue of boats trying to get back to their  home moorings in the pouring rain. At one time we counted over 20 boats and more joining all the time. We decided to stay until Monday!

From Henley we started our return journey up river.

Pangbourne, Goring then here to Wallingford. The weather is still warm but we have had mizzle a lot and a lot of cloud.

Abingdon for the weekend then Oxford for Sid to return to Chi fo4 his weekly blood test.

Just off for pre dinner drinks with Claire and Jeremy on Happy Chance.
