Sonning - Abingdon

Friday sees us moored above Abingdon Bridge in time for a pub lunch in town. On Wednesday we locked through Sonning just after 9:00am en route to Reading Tesco's for a large shop. It turned out to be a fish day, cur price Dover Soles, mussels and un-dyed kippers. We moored just before the lunch time rain at Caversham, and sat down to moules a la mariniere with a bottle muscadet. In the afternoon sunshine we continued to Pangbourne to moor on the meadow. We fiddled in Pangbourne for a while on Thursday morning, June wrote and sent her surface mail Christmas cards halfway around the world. Terry was internet banking in the local library. After lunch we had a wander around Wallingford before setting off for Day's lock and a mooring just above it. This morning was an uneventful cruise to Abingdon, only notable for the lack of other boats and the speed we were locked through at. There is something to be said for this late in the year cruising. We spent the afternoon reviewing 512 digital photos from Nik's wedding and taking 60, on a camera memory card, into the local Boots for printing, 6 x 4 at 10p each! We pick them up tomorrow. Another lunch in town tomorrow? We may get to Oxford on Saturday, or may be not. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
