Sunday 3rd May

And we are in Abingdon, as planned! Another wonderful day with kindly weather. Our crew who enabled Angelus to be with us, left this morning. They were sad to go, having had a wonderful journey up to Oxford. Janet, Steve and Ruby the dog - we thank you!
Now preparing our evening meal, moored opposite the imposing church, which has entertained us with bell ringing for the last half an hour!
Tomorrow we shall explore Abingdon before setting off again - our destination being a mooring near to Dorchester which we know to be a very pretty town.
We had a donation en route from the lock-keeper's wife at Sandford and gave out leaflets to some lovely people on our way. There are a lot of interested people who simply love the river and will give to anything which encourages it's use. Very pleasing.

  1. Hello, I am the guy who wrote offering you some advice having done the trip last year. Nice to know you are well on your way, I reckon Pangbourne is about half way. Please add some notes to your blog so that we know where the pictures are taken from or of. You will know now why I said it could be remote but you, too have noticed the friendliness of the people you meet. It dies off as one gets to London but good luck to you all the way.
