We had planned that when we returned to Oxford we would eat at The Old Bookbinders Ale House, but I couldn’t book a table until after we had moored up, still it was Thursday, so not a problem I though and rang them. Table for two, will 5-30 be OK or would you prefer 8-15. We went for the 8-15 and the place was packed and diners coming in even later. It was actually less than a 5 minute walk from our moorings, directly behind Collage Cruisers.
This morning was much warmer than yesterday and we set off at our normal 10 am. Oxford has some very nice professional art work under some of their bridges .

At one of the locks I spotted this little sign, The QR code actually takes you a web page that has a menu of audio guides.

We met quite a few boats, 5 of them between Wolvercote Lock and Wolvercote Lift Bridge, The last one which was still near the bridge kindly lifted the bridge for us to pass through.
We saw our first family of Cygnets of the year this afternoon, all 7 of them.
Almost back at Thrupp for the night and we passed The Highwayman at Kidlington looking much smarter than the last time we visited there .
We were lucky enough to find a spot on the visitor moorings where there are ring just passed the cottages at Thrupp.
