BTM May Be Leciester Bound
« on: December 07, 2006, 18:40:59 »
SWMBO is going down tomorrow for a meeting, so having been once before (Leicester Bound. 1), well twice actually, I might come down with her?


So if anyone spots me walking around the city-centre between (roughly) 10:30 & 14:00 come & say "Hello"

I'll be the one staring in admiration at the Guild Hall & Wygstons House :wink:

have you not got up foxton locks yet ?. had bit of a save our waterways campain up there last week. took the boat was good. cold though. there doing work on the inclined plane still. had a bit of a land slide though. couple of nice pubs there. bridge 61 on the far side boaters pub . the foxton locks in is well smart iff not a little pricey. probably take 3/4 hour from junction 21. alan........

Sorry Guys
(and equally importantly; Julie)

Haven't come down

Joanne set off earlier than expected, so I'm on 'school-runs'

So, I think I'm off out flood hunting  
Ought to be easy near York :lol:

Alan; Sorry not been to Foxton yet.  Joanne seems to have been sidetracked from the Market Harborough build, yet for some reason she'd gone to Leceister about the Glenfields (I think??)

Co-incidentally, as I type, there's a set of A1 & A3 plans for M-H about a yard away
 :wink:
