Well we had a lovely weekend.  First stop was to Tenbury Wells where we had a lovely time with Joan and Colin.  Meeting their daughter and son-in-law, Sue and John, and several friends and neighbours, who were also sharing in his 80^th birthday celebrations.  He had already had a big party on the previous Saturday.  We spent that night there with them and were made very welcome.  We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  We were reluctant to leave but as the weekend was to be spent with the grandchildren there were good reasons for going.  Saturday found us at another birthday party.  This time for a 3 year old called Thomas!  A friend of Brogan’s.  Both he and Addison had been invited and as it was in the community centre parents were able to stay as well.  As grandparents we were made to feel very welcome.  It was lovely watching the children all playing.  I even got down on hands and knees to join in a few times.  Getting up is not so easy!!  Sunday we all had a walk in the woods at the back of Lorraine’s house with Phoenix the dog.  All too soon it was time to head back to Lechalde.  Thankfully not too far.  Falcon was fine when we got back, and after a quick cuppa we were off out again.  To visit Tanya and her family, husband Kurt and daughters Tyler and Tatum, for a meal.  Monday another busy day shopping and washing while we still had the car.  Later Tanya and Kurt came to see us so Kurt could see the boat.  So Tuesday saw us setting off, about a mile further on, then we turned and started heading back towards Oxford.  So the past couple of days have seen us retracing our steps.  It was lovely today to be cruising with blue skies and sunshine as we have got a bit wet the past two days.  Tonight we are moored at Eynsham and tomorrow will move on to the Oxford Canal and start to head north.
