 End of the "line" at Lechlade. This is too shallow for us, and is being restored into the Thames and Severn canal? is this correct ? its what we have heard anyway.

 Hello, have you any cheese and quackers??? 
 This little poser and her mates, ended up with some of the lovely bread that I bought in the butchers .!


 

 Finlay using Wee Ben as a cushion. Tch tch

Today, Saturday, we are now on our return up the Thames.  Back at the Radcot meadow mooring , and its raining. !!!! Mick has taken his vest off, that's why !.

 Earlier in the week we had spoken to a young-ish bloke trying to catch crayfish.  I said ooh delish, he said not for me they are too muddy tasting.  I responded with, you are kidding,? they are sweeter than prawns.  No, I do not like muddy tasting river fish.  You haven't cleaned them and cooked them properly anyway.  We told him that its illegal to put them back. but he told us that his wifes wealthy boss, has an enormous pond, so he will chuck them in there. !!!!! oooerrrr.  that's not nice.

So, a visit to The Swan for a couple of pints tomorrow, and then Monday we will be on pour way again.  A secretive poop-out is planned, on some land that we have spotted( that's if we can get in). then it can go in the Elsan, at the next lock.
The mobile phone connection is not good here.  One has to stand in the middle of the meadow to call and receive, you know.
