at 11.21am today( Tuesday) we re-entered the canal system at Oxford. !!!!  whey hey.   The last few days on The Thames were fab.   great weather and many things to goggle at etc.  Have been a bit re-miss with the blogging, but its soooooo darn hot  !!!!!!

Going through the back side of Oxford was great , and there would have been some lovely moorings, however, we had only been going a couple of hours.  We  would like to be at Banbury for week-end ,as our chums have rellies visiting.  Poor old Jim, is improving slowly, but having had an ear infect, which has left him with vertigo ( and I know Chris Frost will sympathise.), his recovery is going to take time.  Being on a moving boat is not going to help in our opinion.

Wow, the internet,and phone connections are mega fast. What a change. !!!!
