Back on Track

We did our first Canal Walk for a while on a lovely bank holiday monday. Took the train to Keadby on the Trent just before it joins the Humber then walked on the canal to Thorne [north of Doncaster]. The bridge in this photo of the Trent used to tilt and lift to the sky, which must have been an amazing sight; the counterbalance weighed over 2000 tons. Alas it is all sealed up now.

Last week we saw Gary Young [the best journalist alive] at the University speaking on gun crime in the US and knife crime in the UK. Excellent.
