Todays ...

... above the lock!


It was wet,wet,wet when we woke this morning and so didn’t set off from Wallingford until nearly 10:30







We were soon at the first lock of the day at Benson ...





... where the lockie was friendly, helpful and informative











Le Boat (hire fleet) were nearly all at home today



I’ve discovered that the impressive house that must be behind this elegant frontage is Queen Anne style and is a care home




Leaving Shillingford Bridge ...

... and passing what must be the most photographed property on this part of the River Thames ...
... just look at our trail round the bend as we passed by.




The River Thame joins the River Thames ...











... and the Thames is ‘romantically’ called the Isis.



Around a sharp right-hand blind bend and if you didn’t know it was there you’d miss the services landing below Days Lock with its pretty footbridge
Molly’s ready for a blow-out!


Today's mooring above Days Lock ...











... we need to walk the plank though!

Out walking we can see Dorchester’s Church, Wittenham Clumps and far beyond ...

... a wonderful sky ...
... and glorious sunset!
