Sunday 21st. We had a lovely dinner in the Boat Inn on Saturday night and decided to hang around Thrupp for an extra day because the wind had got up and we didn't fancy boating.

We had a lazy day, going walks and then having lunch in Annie Tea Shoppe (also very nice - Thrupp clearly is the place to eat on this canal!). Robin and Scooby got lost and ended up working their way back through fields, under a railway and over a river in the dark.

| Would get hypnotised on this boat? |
On Monday we moved from Thrupp to Lower Heywood after which Robin and Scooby cycled the 5 and a half miles to Enslow Marina and fetched the car. The new off-road tyres on the fold-up bike made for a safer ride on the slippy towpath, but the grip also made it harder work. They were both knackered when they got back! The next day Jo set off for home and Robin pottered about cleaning the boat and making up a drawer to go under the cooker (every square inch of space matters on a boat). He also tried fishing but none were tempted.
