A surprise and very pleasant catch up.
Pinkhill lock had no lock–keeper – oh sorry
it did!
Pinkhill really is a lovely lock which
is overlooked by a row of horse chestnut trees.
Muffin decided to chat up the canine
lock keeper – Riley!
I posted a photo when we were in
Shepperton of the Lock Cottage with scaffolding all over it – well I reckon a
good 60% of the Thames lock cottages have scaffolding on them somewhere. The Environment Agency must be forking out
masses of money to get them all up to scratch.

Eynsham Lock |
We moored above Eynsham Lock where
Richard did some more painting on the roof – it is almost finished now – sadly
he managed to paint a good t-shirt too ☹ We then sat
out on the bank and read – it was so nice to be able to do that in the
sunshine. The mooring on the meadow is
really lovely. This is the view
Between us and Swinford Bridge is Swinford Manor Farm where they have started glamping. The
tents look really nice on the website though they really are only sleeping
tents. Each tent has electric heating.
This is automatically available when booking for April, May and September and
available upon request for the remainder of the season. Hot water bottles and
extra blankets are also provided for those cooler nights!
After some messaging we caught up with
Maffi and he and Molly came up to join us on Mary H for the evening. It was a great evening – I think we talked
locks and batteries to death though!
