Half term - day four!

An interesting day to say the least! Still moored at Napton for the day but planning to head off home tomorrow. The BBC sent a taxi this morning to pick us up at 11.00am and take us to Olney in Bedfordshire where dad was to be interviewed for a documentary on BBC1 scheduled to be shown at Easter time on John Newton - all to do with the 200 year abolition of the slave trade being celebrated this year. One of dad's books is related to this area and so he was being 'wheeled on' as a resident expert in the field! Turns out the presenter was none other than the legendary Rick Wakeman! We spent a very enjoyable lunch in the company of Rick and the TV crew and the rest of the day was spent chatting to him and dad being interviewed by him before returning back to the boat in time for a delicious evening meal at 'The Bridge Inn' at Napton, (highly recommended,) then back on board in time for Waterworld on the TV - a good day, except that I have just had to re-type this blog 3 times thanks to a dodgy link to you-tube I was trying to post! Rick Wakeman at his best!
