Left Cropredy in DRIZZLE !!!!!! ...... this has not happened for a few weeks or so. Did not last long though. Passed a new marina under construction just outside Cropredy which looks as if it will be huge .... 250 boats or more..
and some generally eccentric but interesting looking wharves, this one called Clattercote Wharf ..worth the picture for the name
covered working area which would have been where the barges loaded up wheat etc.
Shared the canal with a few young things ....
all in all a peaceful lock ...............
Maggie particularly liked this sign ...
and finally a somewhat surreal Alfred Hitchcock type pic ..........
not sure where it is but it seemed to have a certain feel to it.... always tricky to pick out 5 or 6 from the day. I think M took it into the light. Tomorrow a winding path to Napton-on-the Hill. Not far as the crow flies but the contours are curly. ( Apparently a typical 18thC design by James Brindley who liked to follow contours)
