June 6th. Working locks alone

     Sherri and I both slept well. I suggested she shop on her own while I make a 3 hour trip to a Marina a friend suggested I visit. 
     I have been visiting with the couple, Brian and Shirly, moored behind us. It wasn't long before Sheeri and Shirly were conspiring to spend the day together shopping. 
     I left Sherri and my credit card behind and headed to Tryford Wharf  Marina. I worked the two locks solo. Everything went well. 


     I turned the boat around at Trywford, moored and crossed the bridge to visit with Colin. He has two very nice boats that he hires out. Sherri and I plan on hiring from Colin when we return. 
     Back in Banbury and our boat is facing the correct direction for return departure on Sunday. 

     When I returned I noticed a very, very upset young lady at the bus stop. A couple ladies were trying to comfort her. Soon the police showed up. One police office was kneeled showing great concern for needs. I was impressed with kindness he was displaying. Need more of this. Shortly an ambulance showed to assist and she calmed down. I don't know if you can see the officer in the bus station stand in this picture. 
     We are not sure what we are doing tomorrow. Maybe a rest day and exploring close to the boat. A nap may be needed to tackle the trip back. 
Posting some random pictures below.

    Btw, It's TWYFORD wharf, not as you spelled it! ;-)
