BB has been resting for the last six days as we have been home to sort out the garden but primarily to help celebrate my sister in law’s milestone birthday which she does not want mentioned. Whilst we were in the Camberley area we also caught up with our old friends Judith and Matthew. They last helped us get the boat through the very very low bridges on the Basinstoke Canal.
We had to return the car to Oswestry this morning so had a look round the town which has really grasped its railway history and used it to its advantage.
We are now moored a mile from Frankton Junction as we have booked our passage down the four locks onto the Montgomery Canal tomorrow morning.
