Swan Nest

I keep seeing beautiful bits of the Cherwell through the trees as I wonder up the canal. I am looking forward to being near my dinghy so I can go out and explore again.  In times like this when my dinghy is where I am not, I wonder whether it is worth investing in a fold up boat that I can carry with me everywhere on the good ship.
