We made it to Lechlade

We were up at the crack of dawn to watch the Grand Prix qualifying and then we quickly set off. We passed under Newbridge and soon got to Shifford lock. The canal then twisted and turned it's way to Tadpole Bridge. Still twisting and turning we got to Radcot which was very busy with boats going in the water from a field with the use of a crane. We carried on through Grafton and Buscot lock still twisting and turning up to St John's. Here is the famous statue of Father Thames and the lock was a bit like a model village. We then got to Lechlade and winded at the Round house which is the end of navigation on the Thames. It was a bit tricky with the current and the sandbanks, but we managed it. We came back to a nice mooring with a short walk into town. It's a lovely place where all the buildings are built out of Cotswold stone. We picked up some Fish and Chips and walked them back to Derwent6 and sat in the sunshine with them. It was a lovely evening with the church spire all lit up in the clear moonlight. Oh we had some good news today.....Len's (Del's dad) kidney has started to function which should aid his recovery....
