Heavy rain, thunder and lightning is how we start this autumn cruise. However, we had decided to remain in the marina so were safe and cosy.
A dry morning on Wednesday sees us set off towards Cropredy. The sun is shining as we descend the 9 locks and we can't help but reminisce on doing this self same trip a few weeks earlier with two of our grandchildren, Emily and Oliver. They had a long overdue mini cruise, their first, on Hunters Moon during their school holidays and had a fun time. They managed the locks well, Nana was very pleased to have their help, and Oliver even had a go at the helm.
Back on her own now, Jenny has enlisted the support of Walter the walking pole to assist her whilst walking between and around locks. Her hip is causing a bit of pain and Walter is a great help.
We had just moored when the skies darkened and the rain began. Another evening of rumbling thunder and flashing bolts of lightening followed.
