Monday 12 May 2014 - Cosgrove,
Grand Union Canal
This is getting stupid – I do mean to blog each day but have had a few
weeks being busy on other things.
Note to self “Must try harder 4/10”
Anyway on with the blog, at the end of April I was moored at Leighton Buzzard
where I stayed for the weekend as I had to return to London on the 2nd
for the AGM and Marchers’ Lunch of the London Transport Old Comrades
Association. Thoroughly enjoyable. I stayed at Leighton Buzzard as it was a Bank
Holiday weekend. Sunday service was in
All Saints Parish Church which lived up to my expectations having read the
write-up in the Nicholson guide, I was taken round by a member of their Fabric Committee
to see the medieval graffiti.
On the 6th I moved to the Soulbury Three locks in glorious
weather, then on to Fenny Stratford and Milton Keynes (Peartree Bridge) in the
rain. Saturday 10th saw
another trip back to London, this time for the 256 (City of London) Field
Hospital Past and Present Association Spring meeting. By popular requests it was a canal trip
aboard ‘The Prince Regent’ operated by ‘The Floating Boater’! The cruise started from Paddington and went
to Camden and back with a mixed buffet meal, it was enjoyed by all those who
attended
Sunday I went to church in the village of Woughton on the Green, the
church is suitably unspoilt with a plain interior.
Today I planned to do some laundry at the Netherfield laundrette but it
has been converted into a Halal food shop, ah well at least I have the machine
on the boat but drying is a bit of a nuisance.
I then moved on round Milton Keynes to end at Cosgrove. The day started miserable and raining but
from midday the sun has been out and its lovely and warm.
