| Imposing tythe barn alongside the canal |
These are the voyages of Ken, Annie and dog Peggy. As we cruise we will try and keep the blog up-to-date - internet access permitting of course. Ceilidh is a 54ft cruiser style narrowboat. It was built by J Pinder Ltd for Black Prince hire boats in 1995.

28 July 2011 - Somerton to north of Banbury
Opened the door to fog! This quickly dispersed to a blue sky and a hot day. Plodded on today for nearly 11 miles. Annie managed to do the washing (we hadnt tackled this before on the boat) using the bath with everything put in the cratch to dry. Seemed odd arriving back in built up civilization. Stopped at a farm shop called the Pig Place and bought some eggs.
Banbury has some nice grotty bits alongside the canal. I looked forward to seeing Tooleys Yard made famous by L T C Rolt but was disappointed to see a single brick shed surrounded by a modern shopping mall - such is progress. We filled up with water before moving on out of Banbury.
