Hot, hot, hot!

We woke to a lovely misty, moisty, September morning with the sun breaking through the hazy cloud. By the time we left our mooring the sun was getting hot and as we travelled from the Oxford Canal onto the Grand Union the temperature was beginning to rise.

We were joined in the three Calcutt locks by a chap who used to moor in Fenny Marina, in the time of Pat! He now moors in Calcutt Marina so we soon parted company. Then we became 'Billy no mates'. Hoping to have some company through the Stockton Locks proved futile! We didn't see another boat until the last lock! Where had everyone gone from the past couple of days.?!

However, we got to the bottom lock in good time considering the heat and are now rewarding ourselves with a much deserved beer in the Two Boats at Long Itchington.  A beautiful glass of Youngs!
