Abingdon on the 16th and a Schmitt
We left Clifton Lock in the morning and enjoyed our sojourn to Abingdon. We had planned to be there in order to do a piece of work at one of the local schools, but that was postponed. So, we just enjoyed ourselves! We did a little shopping, then watched people with canoes playing in the "rapids" of the weir for Abingdon Lock. Do note the DANGER sign!
And, just so you know. While we travel, Elizabeth knits. These pics are of the Unique Schmitt. Scarf/Hat/Mitt. Jeffrey put in a request for a single garmet of scarf, hat and gloves so that they were all connected and he didn't lose any. So, here is the result. A Schmitt. SCarft, Hat, MITT. She can't do gloves yet, and besides mitts are far warmer, so here it is. It can be separted into its constituent parts (smaller pic), but it is a unit. It was packaged and posted in Abingdon, but made throughout the journey from the Oxford canal in Hilmorton, through the Thames and the Wey.
