There are so many lovely canal walks, it's great that so many have been restored and brought back into use again.

I'm delighted that the locks were restored though.

My parents had a boat when I was a child and our holidays often included trips along the waterways such as the Grand Union Canal and others in Kent and Norfolk. I still have a 'thing' about locks and this brought back lots of lovely memories. Patricia xPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116574112768767203noreply@blogger.com
