Dropping in at Banbury

Last week, we set up a 'drop-in' session by Banbury lock, although in reality I ran up and down the towpath dropping in on passing boats and trying hard not to be a gOngoozler. I gave boaters a blank postcard and asked them to write me something about their journey, and then post it back to me further up the canal. I also gave some of them a disposable camera to photograph their journey. A couple called George and Sheila invited me onto their boat and amazed me with their tales of 22 years of life on the canals of England.
I will be 'dropping in' by Banbury lock again tomorrow, the 8th August and the 15th August, from approx. 11am-3pm.
