Saturday- It was a leisurely breakfast before readying the boats for a cruise to Godstow's Abbey moorings but before that, a brief stop at Pinkhill to say hello to Ian & Irene turned into a fun three-hour tea & chocolate biscuit session.

After we said our goodbye's FD & FL set off for a five-mile cruise that ended just in time to go to the
Trout at Wolvercote, a well-run bar & restaurant with good food, the extensive terrace area overlooking the weir stream was full of diners when we arrived. I enjoyed the Timothy Taylors and of course I had the pie (chicken, ham hock and mushroom). This was to be our last meal together with Ray & Diane this trip.
Sunday- we were up early to say goodbye to our Thames cruising companions, we have had a fun-filled three weeks. It was too early for the lock keeper to be on duty, so Sue and I did the honours.

As usual, we hadn't decided on which direction to go until we had breakfast, we turned FL around and headed back upstream for a few days. Chimney was going to be our destination but after getting through Kings lock we spotted a nice mooring at Hagley Pool, so the pins went back in at 09:30.
As there is no one here to disturb I got the wire brush and the orbital sander out to do some rust spots on the roof. I've decided to do a section at a time, it was gone 17:00 before the steel was cool enough to put a coat of primer on.
