A pair of sleepy heads today, and a late cast off of at 9.15. Toby did a great job pushing us off the bank, but couldn’t resist testing the water depth<\/p>\n

It was a beautiful morning with blue skies and sunshine.\u00a0 The locks were quite busy today, and we went from having the locks to ourselves, to sharing it with cruisers who were keen to keep away from us.\u00a0 I offered to push the buttons, or hold the centre and bow ropes, they were happy for me to keep hold of the ropes!<\/p>\n

We decided to spend the afternoon in Goring, we passed through the lock and saw a space between a narrowboat and cruiser, I didn’t think we woud fit, but Toby was convinced we would.\u00a0 We reversed back, and just managed to squeeze in the space, it was a bit close for comfort, with a huge cruiser only inches in front of us.\u00a0 Luckily the owner of the narrowboat behind us appeared, and offered to pull back a bit; we repaid the kindness with cake.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Can you spot us? We’re eight boats back, next to the cruiser<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We walked in to Goring, a quick look at house prices, and we thought Oxford was expensive! The singer, George Michael lived in Goring, and his home is somewhat of a shrine, you can even see lipstick on the front door where fans have left kisses!<\/p>\n

An afternoon sat watching the boats go by, and reading the paper. We had a BBQ supper using the cobb, nothing quite like sausages and onions wafting across the moorings<\/p>\n
