Gorgeous Saturday morning at Flecknoe
|
We had a quiet Saturday
morning pottering around the boat. Karen
finished off the curtains for the saloon and then made matching cushion covers
with the left over material.
After finishing our jobs
we talk a walk into Braunston – only about 2 ½ miles each way. It killed two
birds with one stone: Buddy got a good walk and we got our Saturday paper and a
visit to the butchers. We had a lazy
afternoon and in the evening Karen made a tasty mushroom risotto.
Sunday dawned grey and we
lazed around until after lunch when we went out for a walk and ended up at the
Olive Bush in Flecknoe for a quick drink before returning home for a roast
dinner in the evening.
On reflection we spoke to
no one over the weekend apart from the butcher and the pub landlord. No boats moored up near us so there were no
neighbours to pass the time of day with.
The butcher, as always, was full of information, e.g. he told us he had
heard that the Napton flight is now open.
The lock flight has been closed for winter maintenance and has therefore
stopped us venturing down towards Oxford via Cropredy and Banbury. The landlord, also as usual, hardly spoke a
word and was his normal surly self.
