Banbury Canal Day

I took the motorbike up to Banbury Canal Day last Sunday. I wasn’t feeling that great but it was lovely to see the town bursting at the scenes with people and stalls all celebrating the canal and ridiculously hot weather.  I had a great time catching up with people and looking around.  There was something for everyone.

Hello Bones - we pulled in to moor outside The Boat pub late yesterday - we're wondering if you're at home today? We'll be leaving Thrupp about lunch time tomorrow (Monday). We'd love to say hello in person. Kind regards Carol and George NB Rock n Roll
