Above Buscot Lock; Wednesday 24th June
4word of the day: ANONYMISE.
I will be adding a new feature to this blog, prompted by the language that used to be known as English and is now regularly abused and enlarged on Radio 4. I shall call it 4word of the day. It will appear each time that I hear a new word; I will use one from last week as an illustration – ILLEGALISE. The spelling may be a bit hit and miss; I do not always have my hearing aids fitted when listening to the radio. Wake up at the back there!
Below Grafton lock, there was a swan’s nest with one adult and seven cygnets in residence. Well, almost – the adult was in residence, the others had their feet in the nest and their backsides hanging over the edge.
From first thing this morning; we were treated to a clear blue sky, and a warm wind remaining until after lunch and well after we had tied up for the day. A little woodwork rubbing down, followed by varnishing in the cabin and that is the tasks completed. We are intending to take tea at the Buscot tea rooms, after a walk around the village. This boating lark can be so tiring!
