Sunday, Dom collected Pete from Fenny to take him back to Rugby Boat Sales, the next door site to Blue Haven Marina, so that Reg could be collected. Pete drove to Fenny, parked up, met Elizabeth, then after the decision to taxi back for Reg, they both dropped lines and set out. Elizabeth took a photo just before setting out, of Bella's summer deck in operation. Most of the garden lives on the roof when travelling, so the deck is free for the bench. And the parasol is a great shade provider! What a glorious afternoon we had, meandering through the Oxford canal then travelling down the Claydon flight followed by the three locks to take us to Croppo (Cropredy). This is the kind of weather we have dreamed about with Bella, but it has taken 20 months to arrive. [We can hardly believe we have lived aboard for 20 months].
We moored up just north of the lock in Cropredy, recalling when we met Jeffrey from here just before Christmas. Elizabeth knitted during the taxi ride to Fenny, then thankfully stopped knitting long enough to drive Reg to Cropredy. Pete cooked a gorgeous Sunday dinner then after a welcome thunder storm with no thunder, we sat outside for a peaceful summer evening on deck.
