On Sunday Frank told me that work had progressed well on Abingdon Lock since my last report.

He also showed me this picture and asked if I recognised the two people second in from each end.

I knew them instantly when he told me who they were. I just hadn’t expected to see them at Abingdon Lock.

They came on on a glorious day – last September – and prepared a meal, in front of the TV cameras, for a group of people including some people from the environment agency, a man from Loose Canon Brewery who supplied the beer, and Crayfish Bob who supplied the main ingredient for the meal.

Anyway, the programme could well appear in the current Hairy Biker series which is running on Wednesdays on BBC2 at 8pm for the next four Wednesdays.

P.S. Got 2 of my facts wrong. See Crayfish Bob’s comments.
