Wallingford to Clifton lock

We left Wallingford just after 9 this morning and found a 24 hour mooring at Clifton lock just after 1 o'clock, there are just two boats here.

The mooring is low, so no lifting the dogs on and off, it's quiet so the dogs are relaxed and not constantly barking at passers by.

There is no satellite signal so I shall read, this week I've read The Tamed Wife by Phillipa Gregory, Foxglove Summer by Ben Aaronovich and I've just started Out of the London Mist by Lyssa Medana.

I did a load of washing as we travelled along and had a shower when we arrived, I even managed a nana nap, something I have done since Loulou joined us.

Tomorrow we will move on to Abingdon and hopefully find a mooring there.

It seems you are able to find time for a bit of relaxation at last x

Who does the steering when you are on the move? I guess the dogs are used to landing in a different place every few days.

It sounds idyllic but I am betting it is hard work.

All sounds stressful to me, is it? I like the idea of living on a boat but not sure if I've got what it takes now.
Glad you found a berth though. Look forward to your next move.

We discussed living on a boat this week. I am fed up with the gardening!! Almost decided a small weekend river boat might be a good escape compromise.

Stew

Y'days lamb was delicious and there is lots left. So today I'm making a stew, I'll use half of the left over lamb and add onion ...
