The Wells' at Wallingford!

This is why we're still stuck on the Thames!
Lock gates being replaced at Benson Lock. What's more, it's only 1 mile from where we're moored BUT somebody decided it would be better to walk the other side of the footpath to get a good view of the work. It was 5 miles. You couldn't get near. I'm owed a treat...

 And here it is, my treat!!
 An unexpected visit from Karen and Lee, who even braved an overnight stay on board!
Lee in charge, and he didn't hit the bank or run aground, perfect!
 While Karen and I sat and chatted, even though it turns out, we were supposed to be making tea. Oh well, what a pity, never mind...
                                                                                                                                                                                   

All too soon it was time to say goodbye BUT
Lee had one more trick up his sleeve..
"I'll just show you how to tie a sheepshank knot..."

"...I think that looks right...."

"...and now pull... YAAAY!!!"

A great day Karen and Lee, thanks for the visit, and hopefully we'll see you again en route!!!
