A great spring day boating with a mix of warm sunshine,cloudy cold bits and a lovely warm sunny spring evening, managed to get in just before bridge 14 at Ansty - just what boating is all about. We stopped by bridge 58 in Rugby and nipped into the nearby Tesco for a few bits.It was so noticeable when we left the slow remote world of the canals and briefly joined the hectic world- it was so nice to get back.
A few pictures of our day

| When I saw this horse in the distance it looked as if it had an unusual colour pattern. On a closer look could this be the equivalent of a horsey onesey! |

| Not a name this time but a boat representing the 1970's |

| During the early 1800's the North Oxford canal had many of its wanderings straightened out -in total 15 miles were taken out. These old loops were bridged by the lovely Dursley Iron Works bridges. |
