Yarnton Mead; Saturday 27th June
Last evening, we were about to go for a wander to Farmoor reservoir when I looked out and saw a barn owl heading towards us. It was searching the long grass along the moorings and made a wonderful sight.
Arriving at Farmoor Reservoir, we saw some large fish, we thought that they could have been Rainbow Trout, but then we do not know one fish from Michael.
Today is our last full day on the Thames; we will be moving up to Thrupp tomorrow and back to dragging the bottom on the canal system. We have some small shears that will be put to good use preparing mooring sites. The Oxford canal has been abandoned by BW as to keeping the grass short on the banks.
The weather has been very hot after a foggy start, Myra has retreated inside; it is that hot.
