While at Norbury Juncton on 19th, I took the opportunity to buy an anchor, chain and warp for the Thames - I shall only be on the tidal reach for an hour or two, but it's a reasonable safety requirement. Anyway, it will be handy if Moondaisy's travels take her onto any other tidal waters. No, I am not tempted to go under Tower bridge with all the big commercial shoipping around. Narrowboats were not meant for that, although a lot do venture there.on 20th.

We passed through Wheaton Aston, with its distinctive roundhouse, on 20th. I was last there with my family, I can't believe it - 55 years ago. Aghhh.
