We returned to moor here opposite the latest canalside development by Redrow Homes.The sign informs that,
"Enjoying the view? This could be home. Two bedroom apartments from £155.995 !"
This is a bit of a joke as apart from the canal they look out onto metal warehouses, very nice.
The feature garden is nicely laid out with imitation lockbeams. The place is brightly floodlit every night, which makes it easy to find our way back to the boat.
We had a wander around the town and visited their conveniences which were awarded five star status this year, quite rightly so. The town noticeboard displays photos and DOB of seven ASBO characters who are banned from entering the town centre, I thought this was a good idea.
Overall it is a great, well kept place which we like very much.

In case you're wondering where this is, it's Leighton Buzzard.
Is there anybody out there?
If there is it would be nice to communicate with you occasionally.

Hi Dave
Good luck with getting your own narrow boat, have you found, http://www.canalworld.net/ yet, a virtual community of people that enjoy the canals.
Boat not necessary ;-)
ps. Like your taste in boats.
Hi Wozie,
Thanks for your good wishes.
I will be getting one when my caring duties finish.
The nearest place I can get to is Leighton Buzzard or Tring as I can't be away for more than 2 hours.
Yes I know every boat builder,marina,web cam,web site and everything going so I am well informed.Just can't wait but it will be a sad time as well for me,still life goes on eh!
I will have a look at the new marina being built at Grove Lock just to be nosey when I can get away.
Take care,have a safe winter on the cut.
Dave.
