Our country estate - for one night only

Do you like my front garden?

Well it was our front garden last night. We were lucky to get our favourite mooring at Great Linford. Yippee! We love it.

At the top of the park, just by the woods, and a short walk to the Nag's Head where the ceilings are so low, the landlord can't stand up straight. It's true, honestly.

But what's this on the path just outside the boat?

Crown of tunnel 4.760 metres below water level" I see no tunnel! Does anyone know what it is?

Tonight we're moored right by another tunnel.

It's the horse tunnel under the canal at Cosgrove, handy for crossing over (or should I say under) the canal to get to the Barley Mow.

In the morning Rick arrives for a couple of days. Respite care for Marilyn we call it.

May I refer the honourable gentleman to a blog post I made two years ago?

There were several comments left which gave significant clues to the mysterious tunnel.
