After a walk to the nearby village of Kirklington for the paper we set off for another of our mammoth trips. The village is truly delightful, it has everything going for it, pretty, village green with pond, school, church, pub and unbelievably in this day and age, a well stocked village shop together with Post Office. It's only slight downside is that a fairly busy road runs through it. However this does give them a bus service which runs from Oxford to Bicester. In addition we chatted to a lady walking her dog by the boat who said they had only moved there just after Christmas and they had found it a very friendly village with a great community spirit......
Anyway we set off gently and managed to find a very congenial mooring at Lower Heyford. We are out in the open which we like although the railway runs right alongside. After a while you hardly notice the noise of the trains.........
