Time slips by

I have been here at Hawkesbury Junction a few days now

 very warm sunny days but very cold nights and foggy mornings. I managed to get my doors finished, along with the edging to the storage boxes in the bow well deck and the solar panel box.

So this morning I took a walk into the village but it’s nothing special, I posted a couple of letters and bought some eggs in the store and headed back to the boat.

At 1pm I headed along to the pub to do some Gongoozling of my own, armed with camera and newspaper.

A view from the footbridge over the junction.

Coventry Canal heading north Left, Oxford Canal heading South Right,
actual junction beneath me.

The old engine house where boatmen once received their orders.

I sat for about 2 hours reading the paper and watching the few boats negotiate the junction, it was very quiet and all the boats made it look very easy and gave me nothing to laugh at, spoilsports! 

Another one makes it look easy, he got around ok.

Just one hire boat made the turn a seven point attempt, when I thought they were going to do it in one, but the lady steerer looked like she had planned it that way and did not even get close to being flustered.

I think my time here is done so weather, as usual permitting, a move tomorrow.
