My name is Graham and I have a superpower called Bipolar Disorder (BD) Type 2.
I have returned to the North West (Todmorden, West Yorks) after 35 years down South.
I have bought a lovely house by The Rochdale Canal. Both the house and location have the WOW Factor. I live with my younger son (23).
This blog is about how I deal with the BD highs & lows given the stresses in my life.
Thanks for reading. I’d love it if you’d leave a comment (good or bad)

Technically no, but I live as close to the lock as you can get!
The first true live-aboard boaters that came through the lock gave me a windlass + a new nickname – “Tod of the Lock”. ❤️ it.
I wrote to Canal & River Trust asking if I could become the voluntary lock keeper for Lock 24. The response was they don’t need one but there may be other ways to get involved. Watch this space!
