To Hawkesbury Junction - Day 12

A lazy start. Blue Adeline now has her name emblazoned on her starboard side (it's a poor show, a boat with no name).  A gentle trip with sights along the way, like the boatyard with piles of cars, piles of boats on top of the cars and mannikins including a climbing frame complete with mannikin children.  Spooky…





At Hawkesbury Junction near Coventry, the Oxford Canal turns off to the left beginning with a winding hole, a tight turn and a lock all within a short space.  Went to the Greyhound pub for a canal side lunch with a view of some gorgeous steam launches, gleaming from bow to stern in the sunshine.




Met Denis and set off to our evening mooring at Stretton Stop, right by the train track but fortunately, no trains ran at night.  Either that, or we slept through as they passed.
