Wallingford on the 14th



On Monday, we travelled only one lock and five rather boring miles to Wallingford. We were delighted to see that there was a new mooring edge and giggled that we had seen it being built as we were travelling downstream. There was room for us, but as the day wore on, we offered alongside mooring to Morwena II, as even with new moorings, there was much demand for space. You can see us doubled up behind a Dutch Barge called Duchess.

On Tuesday we had a lovely bimble around Wallingford and enjoyed the sample of shops, including Just Trading, a fair trade shop. The owner used to live on a narrowboat in Birmingham's Gas Street Basin, so we had quite a chat!
