No - what it is lacking is a train. Good point! That would have made the shot! But I did catch that bloke on the towpath, every photo needs 'an object of interest'. Yes and here's 'Spidernan'

We hired a boat with bridge bars fitted back in the nineties. Every day of our two weeks holiday I managed to clout my head on them ... hateful things. Entertained the rest of the crew of course ... oh how they laughed Rog

Had a walk up the hill from bridge 172 into Bodicote. Lots of new houses being built but two great pubs in the village ... the Plough and the Horse & Jockey. Mini pub crawl required, and jolly pleasant too. Distant motorway noise at this mooring, but very sunny and peaceful. Only a long mile to Banbury Morrisons, and the same distance into Bodicote. A jolly fine mooring I'd say Rog

Moored at bridge 38 on the Ashby, lovely evening with swallows swooping around the boat, done some touching up today, boat not women, now having a deserved cold one π Reckon we will hit the three pubs of stoke Golding for a mini pub crawl tomorrow and watch Liverpool spank the gooners.

Morrisons sell this - buy some! (only it contains just lungs, no heart and no liver).

The Ashby is a great pub crawl canal @froggy. We had a meal in the Rising Sun at Shackerston which was jolly pleasant. The Globe was pretty good, and we liked the Lime Kilns too. Even liked the Wharf just up the road from bridge 16 . Sat in the Whippet at Hawksbury listening to music and drinking more than my own body weight in Hophouse 13 was jolly too Enjoy your well earned beers. Rog

Ive had a trying afternoon...collected grandson who promptly demonstrated how to remove car seat cover and demolish polystyrene lining, followed by unbuckling as i was stuck in hour long traffic queue.. Resolved that ..home and he's been a wild child.. I'm getting too old for this childminding malarky.. he's just fallen asleep and i'm sitting here with.....glass milk as the Drs have forbidden all vino now for the next few months.. Its a tough life... Ive decided gonna walk the 5 miles to take him back tomorrow as Im not going through that stress again...

Rog Only done from bridge 22 to wind at shackerstone, canβt get near shackerstone this weekend due to all moorings reserves for the festival, which is fine but we are talking all moorings for two miles each side of the village which is a bit poor, fancied the rising sun again but not to be... Already a hot one here so going to do some more touching up and then head to stoke Golding for a bbq and then footie in the pub.
