I finally went back swimming today which means normal service will be resumed!! Such a relief to get back into the pool.

It was a lovely sunny day so after swimming I made my way over to King's Cross Station area where I went to visit the London Canal Museum in New Wharf Road (info here). I have been meaning to go there for quite some time as I wanted some sort of guide for my canal walks. The problem is that I have done it in bits and pieces and want to go to places I have missed out. It is not a very large exhibition but enjoyed my visit and it costs £4.50 (£3.50 OAP) if anyone is interested. I bought a little book called The Regent's Canal which will be very useful giving the tow path and interesting areas along the canal. I also got a very small map of the waterway system around the London area.

This shot is of Battlebridge basin off Regents Canal behind the museum where there are quite a lot of barges moored up. Its not a particularly great shot but most of the other pictures I took had a nasty reflection in the centre of the picture from the sun and I didn't have the time or inclination to clone it out. However this shot does show the old and new buildings surrounding the basin.


Happy May Day everyone!!
