Here I am at Milton Keynes

What a fabulous weekend. The weather has been just right. I have cruised about 25 miles, walked 18 of them (to go back for the car) and gone through 8 locks. That's about 11 hours cruising to you landlubbers. Car hopping is my least favourite thing because it means there is not much time to actually relax and enjoy the places where I stop. Today I was able to get a bus back to the car. The driver clocked the colour of my hair and ran off a FREE ticket but I had to tell him I wasn't ready for a bus pass yet so I had to pay £3.30! Going to see The Strawbs tomorrow night. I wonder what they will be like after all these years. Will they do "The man who called himself Jesus"? Today is the first chance I've had to log onto the machine and I have got a good signal. Have to go back to work for a few days this week but hope to be back on board next weekend for Phase 2. Nothing amusing has happened (yet) this trip but I'm sure there will be some items to report somewhere along the journey.
