cool layover day in an idyllic spot

Ideal location just below Bakers Lock

Whilst we listened to tales of excessive heat we had positioned ourselves well today.   Just below Bakers Lock where the river Cherwell briefly joins the canal for a while, we had the ideal spot under the trees.   Barney an I were able to sit on on the wide towpath most of the day.......in case anyone is wondering where Geoff is.......Football!!

In addition to a cool spot we had good TV reception and miraculously good internet reception.   The only thing lacking (in some eyes!) was an adjacent pub......

Quite a few boats came past during the day in both directions including a large percentage of hire boats.   We are so lucky not to be in a rush.
