I just returned from a two week visit to England. My first time there. My sensible and spry 80 year old mother in law wanted to visit childhood friends and relatives, and I was happy to accompany her and spend time skulking around canals.
Maybe I’ll annotate in more detail later, but here’s a breakdown.
Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cumbria







Portsmouth, Bristol, and the Kennet and Avon Canal.


















Football! High expectations and a painful loss for Burnley. Many pints drunk before and after.

Scotland!







Peak Forest Canal.
