Bank Holiday trip to Great Linford

On May 28th we took our friends from Queensland, John and Diane Harden on a short trip to Great Linford. They were staying in England for a couple of weeks and wanted to see the canals again. John reckoned that this was his fourth boating trip with us. We can certainly count three on Albert and I think John also came for a trip on on our first boat. 

The day started misty and damped but the weather improved as the day wore on. We had booked a lunch at The Black Horse at Great Linford. They did us proud with the food and service being good.
