Going Slow

Finally the fog cleared and by lunchtime the sun was cheering the air. As I sat on the train I noticed the canal running next to it and a narrow boat gliding along peacefully. A far cry from the busy streets and motorways. I am sure we would all feel better if we slowed down more.

I have been watching some enjoyable programmes about the making of the canals and their more recent restorations. What amazing feats of engineering they are and how good it is that across the country people are enjoying them in so many different ways.
