Sunday was a day of indecision. It is not normally a day of travelling for us and the weather forecast was for a dire day, lots of rain and wind so the plan was Church in Cropredy and a lazy day. However we wanted to reach Fenny Compton on Monday and that meant a longish day........we don't choose to do long days.....so we thought we would carry on after church and get half way up the Claydon flight.
When we woke the weather was nothing like the forecast, admittedly no sun but no rain or wind either. So after a lot of dithering and mind changing we decided to go whilst the weather was OK and skip church.
We then had a very pleasant run up to the moorings above the Claydon 3rd lock. Even the fact that there was one boat ahead of us, which meant the locks were all set against us, didn`t detract from the tranquillity of the day.
Once settled there we all retired for a peaceful afternoon
