Middle Levels on Election Day

Today – Peterborough, River Nene to Stanground Lock, Middle Levels, 0.75 miles 0 locks
Yesterday – Moored Peterborough

Yesterday I was totally spoilt by Vic.  For my birthday he took me out to Weatherspoons in Peterborough.  I really like that pub, it’s always so lively and the food good.  Later I chose a new fishing rod… it’s much longer than the one I am used to,  so that should be a bit of fun the first time I use it in June

My interest in photography has grown, and Vic bought me a new camera as well…. I am just over the moon with it, and have been doing a bit of practice the last couple of days.  It’s much more complicated than my quick snap camera that my photos have come from in the last two years… Here my first efforts at a bit of wild life…. well these two are the best of about ten I have taken, so I have a bit to learn yet to get the best out of it.

I know there are a bit boring, but I wanted to show off my new camera with my first efforts!

Standground Lock

This morning we went to the large Pet shop to get a bag of food for Lucy before moving back up to the waterpoint to fill up once again before leaving for the Middle Levels.  We never did find the rubbish disposal point in the amenities building on the embankment.  There was one door that would not unlock.  No doubt behind that door we could have dumped the rubbish.  So once again we had to leave rubbish in the many rubbish bins along the waterfront… not very satisfactory I know, but we had no choice once again!

So tomorrow then we are off along the Middle Levels….. but for now, I think I will watch the excellent BBC with their election program.  Sunderland South should just about be finished with their count by the time I post this!
