Hotel pair Duke and Duchess at Thrupp

We didn't do much today after the exertions of the previous few days. We walked to the Co-op in Kidlington, only fifteen minutes from Thrupp, where we bought the ingredients of the barbecue we had this evening.

We need to make an early start tomorrow, so we left our lovely 7-day mooring, passed under the lift bridge and stopped at the service mooring for water and Elsan. Then we moved a short distance further, to a space on the 14-day moorings among the trees.

This afternoon the hotel pair Duke and Duchess passed us. Here they are going under the lift bridge ...

... and pausing in the wide to pick up two passengers.

It has been blisteringly hot today, so it was good to be able to move the boat in the relative cool of the evening. By the time we tied up on the 14-day mooring it was 2145.
