Napton Narrowboats To The Country Side.




An hour long trip to get a paper.








Yesterday started with the usual icing in but this time it was half past seven when the first clown came smashing through.
It was a hire boat though, so you do have to forgive them as it is their holiday after all.







We then had a trip up to the bottom of Napton locks just to get a paper. There is little else we can do at the moment as we are waiting on important news from friends and family back home. We cannot set off anywhere else just yet.
That brown lump in the picture above is actually a Deer, we have been out a year and this is the first one we have seen. All those woods and country side we have passed through and where do we find one? ........In the middle of a field.






Once we were going back the effect of the freezing wind really did bite at us, back to looking like Eskimos again. The sweeping landscapes made up for it though.





A mixture of Ponies and Shetlands with acres of room to roam in

This is a very bad picture of the art of Hedge laying.

What looks to be just a heap of wood laying over has been cut through nearly all the way, then bent over and weaved into the next clump which has had the same treatment. This will then all grow into a hedge even though it is nearly severed from the ground.

Chainsawing and odd jobs for today but no movement, maybe tomorrow!

Until next time..........................
