From Kings Sutton to Fenny Compton, Oxford Canal
Well we have now passed through Banbury and that boat we saw being craned out must have been the submerged wreck we saw a couple of weeks ago. Banbury was very busy with boaters as we moored by the Castle Quay centre and lots of folk enjoying the autumn sun. Lunch with Mrs T and then off to find a quiet mooring out of the town.
Great excitement as we spotted a floating black lap top case! On retrieval we didn't find a lap top, but an absolutely sodden A4 notebook crammed with info and numbers plus some case notes, all barely readable by now of course, but obviously important to the author. We handed it over to the Police Station in Cropredy (ie the Village Stores) who will ensure it gets passed on.
Above the locks at Cropredy, there is an American landowner chap who has boat moorings, sells hens eggs and who had all these pumpkins stacking up, presumably for Thanksgiving.
Now we are back at Fenny Compton and would you believe it - as we were tying up, we struck up a conversation with a couple on the towpath who were admiring the boat and it transpired that they had hired from Cambrian Cruisers a couple of years ago. I don't think any of the 4 of us could recall one another!
