Spent a very nice weekend in Banbury.  The canal passes virtually through the centre of the town.  Our first night we were moored literally at the doors to a big shopping mall.  We had to move on then as spaces were booked for Sunday’s Canal Day.  We didn’t have far to go though just one lift bridge, my first, and a lock before we were able to moor again.  We were then surprised to see quite a queue building for the lock.  Seems one of the gates was jammed.  Nothing to do with us, other boats had been through.  Eventually a windlass and a chimney were removed and service was restored!  Amazing what some people loose! It was very busy on Sunday.  The weather was good so I suppose that bought a lot of people out.  We are moving on today towards Oxford.  Weather not so good.  A bit drizzly but we are pressing on.  Just approaching our 4^th lock which will be the last one for today.  Mooring for the night at Aynho.
