Today I dragged out Grandad’s Diary thinking its “been a while” since I last time I posted an entry, it was a year ago today. Guess that proves 2016 was a busy year. So moving into 2017 lets see how much of this I can transcribe. Still loads of photos and entries to go. Happy New Year.

Day 810
This morning went for breakfast – immediately afterwards four of us walked along canal until 9.30AM. In afternoon usual swim. Much traffic passing through canal – especially invasion boats & barges – seems likely something will soon happen. Evening short stroll along canal.
