Hail to the Hive!

The voyage continues. We wake up to a lovely morning and savour it as we know there'some cold and wet stuff headed this way. Rain too. Yuck!

So off we go as we want to find a place close to supermarkets and a decent mooring so we can stay inside, warm and cosy for a few days.

We head off further down the Oxford Canal looking for the turn off the northern arm of the Grand Union canal , the weather is already showing signs that it may turn ugly. The turn off should be just ahead,I think is just ahead on the right.

And so it is.

More new territory for us. I love the not knowing exactly whats coming up. I am sure in time we will revisit sections many times and as I have found already with different weather and going in another direction it's always a bit different.

Ah ha! Locks.

and a water point. Best to top up. Always a good idea when the opportunity presents itself. We plan to just get through this first set of 3 locks and then moor up for the night and eat.

This will do!

The weather goes from sunny to cloudy, hot and cold, back and forth. It's been loke this a lot these past weeks. It's a nice pleasant evening though to cook, eat and relax,

Hive account@millycf1976 works wonders in a small space.

I do, of course help out. No really i do!

Not a bad end to the days travels, worthy of a beer.

The next morning we set off fairly early as we know there's a lot of locks coming and they slow and already slow traveling style down to an absolute crawl and we know rain is coming and do not want to be doing a lot of locks in the rain.
