Yesterday was my birthday and I had a wonderful time with family. Alison and Harry arrived from Brighton at 10 am and we set off to walk to the boat yard. I had organised a boat trip on the Thames starting at Folly Bridge in Oxford and going up river to Godstow. There were seven of us on the boat - Alison, Harry, Rachel, Charles, Adam, Rosie and me. It was a two hour trip which was a perfect length of time for the younger ones. Alison brought a picnic which included Buck's Fizz for the grownups. Our route involved going through a lock and making our way up river past the farm. Lots of trees, lots of cows and lots of fun.
