Early Easter over, weather set fair for a few days, and it’s ferrying stuff back up to Cropredy, ready to set out on the great trek south to Oxford Folk Festival, where there are increasing rumours of Morris Dancing.

At least someone was pleased to see us back at the boat…

By the time we left Cropredy Marina late in the afternoon it was a bit cold and overcast, as was the next morning. But as promised by The Banks of the Sweet Primroses, it did indeed turn into a most sunshiny day and an auspicious start.
