July 19 to Brothers in Farms


So, as promised, but much later (!), here goes. We set out from Blue Haven on the 19th of July. We need to note here that on the 17th, a major event occurred. Pete serviced Bella's engine. He had been preparing, buying the odd tool and kit, stocking up when we were last at Oxfordshire Narrowboats. Elizabeth was up in Windermere on work so he had the time to himself. And it took no time at all!!! He was SO proud of himself, and rightly so. On the 19th, we made a huge journey (they smile) to what we call Brothers in Farms. Just an hour south on the Oxford Canal, it feels like another world. The name comes from the field full of bullocks on the north side of the moorings, all of whom nodded to us as we moored. The evening was stunning, the sun shone and we had a peaceful evening. [Sunny b-i-f]
