Look what was on the inside of our window. .......    a little newt. !    how on earth did he get there?   Anyway, we were at Berkhamstead, and there is a little waterway beside the canal, so I popped him in there.  He was so sweet.

 

Had a wander down to Winkwell, but we are so fed up with the railway.  That night Mick couldn't sleep and he counted 100 per hour !!!!!!  crazy.  So that was it, and we turned around and at the moment we are down the Wendover Arm.......Fabulous, quiet and rural.  Just had a 6 mile walk to look at the restoration of the rest of this canal.   Its all being done by volunteers, and they are all over the age of 55'ish ?    What a fantastic job they do.  If this ever gets opened to its full extent, it will be a smashing waterway to cruise.

 

So, slow trundle back towards Gayton for the end of the month, and then back down the Nene.
