We are now on our winter mooring at Weedon and one of our neighbours is into Saxon Re-enactment and invited us to go to a re-enactors market.
At this market you could purchase anything for the period of history that you are interested in including weapons,costumes and food.
Sorry about picture quality.

We travelled back to the boat on Thursday and Friday we had Pat and Shelley from Australia and Pats mum on the boat for a trip from Norton Junction to Weedon.

We travelled with our friends Sue and Dave pictured over looking the city from Prague Castle

Prague is as beautiful at night as it is by day.

I have not updated the blog lately as we have been celebrating Hilary's big birthday and have been away from the boat, with us ending the celebrations in Prague.

We could not leave Leamington wthout a photograph of the Royal Spa and Baths

Leamington has great architecture and lots of flowers,great for shoppers

I think Leamington may be entering Britain in Bloom competition.

Llama's or Alpaca grazing at Fosse Locks

Stockton locks are the first thing we face as set off on our first complete day on the Warwick and Napton

We are ahead of schedule for our return to Norton Junction and have decided to take a quick trip to Lemington on the Warwick and Napton Canal (Napton Junction in photo.).

We enjoyed the Oxfordshire countryside as we waited at the locks at Napton

When we travelled to Oxford we saw a large house preparing for a wedding by having a marquee erected.
They must have had a bridge erected to get the guests from one side of the canal to the other.

As we have travelled back up the Oxford Canal we saw a lot of the small holdings preparing for Halloween by growing pumpkins

When we left Banbury this boat had been pumped out and was indignatally strapped to the front of a B.W. boat to be scrapped.

We left Oxford today and we had not travelled far when we lost a member of our crew over board.
Cassie decided to take one step to far and fell into the cut.

The architecture in Oxford was fantastic

The tree's look fantastic as we cruised to Kidlington to moor for the night

It is not often you see a traffic jam on the canals.
There were 11 boats in front of us as we waited to enter Somerton Deep Lock
