The good unepected news first - CRT have annouunced that the Thrupp lift bridge is now working and the waterway is open. So our trip down the Thames is now back on.

| Allen's Lock |

| Mill Lift Bridge |
We set off on a bright and sunny morning at 9:55 and travelled through beautiful countryside. After passing through Heyford Common Lock, Allen's lock, and an electrically operated lift bridge we moored up in the very small village of Lower Heyford at 11:15.
We stopped early because we are likely to run out of food in the next few days. There are very few opportunities to shop for some time so I consulted Google's AI, Gemini, which informed me there was an hourly bus from Lower Heyford to Bicester where there is a large Sainsburys in the town centre. It will also give us chance to explore the town as neither of us have been there before.
