We have managed to stock up with fresh fruit and other perishables so the larder is looking very full and healthy. I visited the local museum and learnt a bit about the area ( again this is slap bang on the quayside) I wanted to visit Tooleys's Historic Boatyard which has been left where it has always been on the quay and the shopping complex built around it. ( we British are very good at preserving our history) Never mind we are here overnight so I can go over in the morning and catch a tour of the place which they run every two hours at no cost.
We intend to travel at a leisurely pace from now on (could we get any slower) as we want to look around all the villages along the route and we have some friends from Tenerife who live in the area
who we plan to see over the next week.

| The famous Banbury Cross ( not the original this was erected to celebrate the wedding of one of Queen Victoria's Children) |
 |
| The Fine Lady on a white horse |
 |
| This tells the tale |
 |
| Clever Flower display of Hobby Horses at the Banbury Cross |
 |
| The Floating Market ( which is on for the week) Luckily Christine was all shopped out. |
 |
| The Flower baskets are really a credit to the town council |
 |
| Boats moored along Castle Quay (The shopping complex is behind the railings above the boats) |
 |
