Leighton Buzzard

Here we are in LB the towpath is a bit overgrown here,you have to cut a path in the grass before you can moor up.

The local canoe club had a race today and several dozen boats were going up and down the canal.

This is Ben, Eric and Elsie's dog, he loves to watch the world go by.

Having spent a couple of very pleasant days in Milton Keynes earlier this week, (although the canal meanders right through the centre of the town, you feel your in the country it is so quiet). We walked across a lovely park into the main shopping centre on Weds before we cruised down to Leighton Buzzard. Elsie had to go home to Newport this weekend so we are here till Monday, it's a nice town, plenty of shops and eating places.

Martin called on Friday evening with a new camera I'd ordered and had delivered to him, so no excuses now, and Sarah, Sophie's mum came for lunch today so we caught up on a multitude of things. The weather this week has been very good, dry and warm for the most part.
