By Tuesday we got to Thrupp





Another fabulous day. We travelled the 14 miles, 8 locks and 3 lift bridges with great fun. We had good conversations with other boaters at locks and two bystanders did two of the lift bridges. It was another sunny day and the Cherwell river flowed clear where the Oxford and Cherwell share a course. We moored up in Thrupp, just near the Boat pub, around 5:30pm. Here are lots of pictures of the scenes. Do look closely at the swan - a tiny signet is on her back and the head just peeks out between her wings. We have seen ducklings, goslings, moorhen-lings... calves, lambs... It is certainly spring!
