Milton Keynes

Milton Keynes, a new city in the heart of England was built around the Grand Union canal and consequently fully embraces it. The two compliment each other like a newly married couple ,a delight to see. We cruised for over an hour through the city suburbs but could equally be out in the countryside. We moored adjacent the Peace Pagoda for lunch and an explore.

The weather is warm and lightly breezy. 

Wild roses along the canal bank.

The peace pagoda was erected in 1980 by the nuns and monks of Nipponzan Myohoji and stands in the specific hope that the earth will be spared from nuclear annihilation
