A couple of days ago I thought I'd have a walk by the Grand Union Canal in the middle of Milton Keynes, and so turned off the road into a quiet residential area, but got totally lost looking for the canal. I finally ended up on an allotment, where I saw these amazing artichokes growing, but I couldn't get to the canal from there.
After much to-ing and fro-ing I parked in a layby next to Tinkers Bridge, and found a stairway down to the canal. As I came under the bridge, this is what I saw:
Breathtaking! I carried on and found that this was quite a popular spot, since there was a pub and a whole line of narrowboats tied up and enjoying a relaxing evening.

That's an amazing Weeping Willow tree.
Oh, Dee, those photo's are beautiful!! I'm glad you took some time for yourself!! Take care!!
Wow, wow and wow! I love artichokes but have never seen one growing....the second picture is to die for and I have done a little research on those houseboats so your blog was a hit for me today:)
Spots as seen in the second photo can only be found in England. Great! For a lady of a certain age are you a fabulous climber :-)
I love that bridge with the arched bottom. The Weeping Willow is beautiful reaching into the water.
What a lovely spot to go walking. I hope you stopped at the pub and treated yourself to a little light refreshment.
