Well the sign at Northampton welcomed us to British Waterways yesterday as we entered the weedy unkept Northampton end of the Grand Union line. What a mess, certainly BW have done absolutely nothing about the mountainous growth on both the towpath and far sides of the canal. Still it's probably not one of the areas they want to promote.. maybe out of the public eye being just a 'route' to the EA rivers.

I have had to reformat my computer, something I really hate doing.. so many settings and programs to put back on, I am nowhere near finishing that yet, so there will be no smilies for a while! I have put just the basics back on at the moment, and of course my ftp program so I can at least put the latestest pics here.

Over the next few days I will have bunged everything back on, including the software for the 'Where we are' page, so sorry that has not been updated yet. Also I need to reinstall my software that I use to write the blog, so I am not sure if this will look right.. hope so.

Just a quick blog from me this evening to say that all is well here despite my absence... A lot has happened over the last few days, I will catch you all up shortly.
