We stayed in Stowe Hill for a few days, thanks to our friends helping us get Reg for road travel. Elizabeth had a working day in Oxford as Pete worked from the home office. On Wednesday we were both aboard and and the fun of watching the Dutch Barge Union Wharf being lifted from the canal and placed on a flatbed lorry for its travel to its new owners. What a sight! First, the wheel house had to be folded flat. Then, great stirrups were laced around and under Union Wharf. A trial lift indicated that she wasn't quite level, stirrups were adjusted, then she just flew! The crane swung her round and she was placed on the flatbed as delicate as a feather. Amazing.
