John, Annita and Sarah left us first thing to head off to Lego Land.
We set off early hoping to get a good start and fill up with water, the best laid plans and all that.
We were held up at the lock as a large Dutch Barge went through and then pulled up to fill up with water - so as we still had about half a tank of water we decided to press on. The rain kept falling, but as our Thames licence expires on 1 August and Rod is due to work tomorrow and Thursday we needed to press on.
We passed the bottom entry to the Oxford canal.
The Thames becomes very rural beyond this point as the bridge at Osney is very low, so it is now all canal boats or smaller cruisers - no more Gin Palaces as the lock keeper called them.
The rain finally stopped just before we did, and we are moored at Kings lock after which we turn right onto the Oxford canal.
Our beautiful view over the lovely country side.
The cars are for the sea cadets.
Good news to finish the day we have let our house :-) Yippee
