Last night we were able to tie up outside the B&B at Napton Junction where Son Nº3 and family were staying. That led to a very good late afternoon / evening.
This morning we headed up to the Calcutt locks (with their paddles which, to us, seemed extremely odd), where there was quite a lot of activity.
That meant Bram and Obie got to help with the locking, until it was all too much and they needed a rest!
Up and down the locks they went
On Erin Mae, Erin Mae
On Erin Mae, Erin Mae
Up and down the locks they went
On the good ship Erin Mae
O what a time that was
On Erin Mae, Erin Mae
O what a time was had that day
On the good ship Erin Mae
And, having gone down the locks, winded, had lunch and come up the locks again, we returned to base until it was time for them to have an evening drive to their London home. Son Nº3 got some steering practice on the way.
It's been a great couple of days, and Bram and Obie were probably singing the Erin Mae song in car, until they fell asleep.
O what a time that was
On Erin Mae, Erin Mae
O what a time was had that day
On the good ship Erin Mae
