Let the water in.

Yesterday we were invited to see the first filling of our new marina.

It was very muddy and looks a long way from finished.





This is the gateway between the two pools we will have to negotiate every trip.





And head to our berth at the top left of this next picture.



The foundations for the new entrance bridge are in situ.







The canal remains beyond this boundary.



Then the digger moved in





And soon the pool began to fill.





To round off our day we walked the Watford locks.



There is a sign at the top telling you to turn round and go back down them.



We know that's not really what the sign is for but it made us giggle.

We look forward to tackling this staircase one day.
