Lingering above Abingdon

Sunrise from our mooring

view from our kitchen window.  I thought they were harvesting the wheat
but it turns out they were digging up potatoes

 So nice on the mooring we lingered yet another day but then moved down to the meadows in Abingdon.    Availed ourselves of the sanitary station at the top of the lock.  However despite a good flow of water we left before completley filling the tank as a large number of people were waiting.

Found a congenial spot although we had trouble getting the stern right in.......a bit shallow......do we need rain????                     

Met old friends Dick and Jackie and took ourselves off to lunch in the Nags Head.  Good company, but service and food that left a little bit to be desired.  Despite having booked a table we still had to queue to get in and efficiency didnt seem to be much in evidence. 

Theres worrying talk of further lockdowns on the news so we are wondering what will happen next.
