Happy Easter from Wendy and Laurence. While we didn’t bring chocolate we did bring a narrowboat moment from the Oxford Canal!

#Boatlife day 489
Tree stopped play on the Llangollen two years ago.
And today, day 1294, on the feisty edges of Storm Dave, I'm listening to the branches of trees next to my boat clacking together like the bones of skeletons 🫣🌬️🍃🛥️

At the stern hatch of a boat, a hand and thumb push a brass sliding bolt into its slot chiselled into an oak block. The block is attached to the overhead hatch. Most of the boat interior is oak wood, and the metal parts are brass. Along the upper-left edge of the hatch there's a door sweep, mounted upside down to keep out spiders.
For the stern hatch, I bought much larger, sturdier, brass sliding bolts.
Oak is hard wood, so it took a chisel and mallet, drill, hacksaw, and screwdriver to mount them. But it wasn't difficult.
Opening the hatch takes only 2 seconds—faster than I […]

Good morning, truly hoping everyone is enjoying their long Bank Holiday weekend (hopefully not too badly affected by Dave) - a couple of photographs I took during Buster the Boat Dog's walk this morning.

An old and weathered red brick bridge straddles a broad canal. In the distance, through the bridge, a patch of reeds brightened gold by the sun can be seen next to the gates of a canal lock. The edge of a narrowboat is glimpsed on the left side of the view
Happy Friday!
A lovely spot to moor up.

We have a video dropping today, special in a few ways. It’s our five-year journey; from the first time we laid eyes on this thing they call a ‘narrowboat’ to landing in the UK with all our worldly possessions to become continuous cruisers.
Look for it this afternoon!!!!

A canal lined with trees on both sides. Alongside the canal, some trees are greening, some not yet. My train is crossing a bridge with a low, white railing; it is blurred, due to the train's speed. To the left, a high-speed train entering the frame in a blur. On the right is a green field and some distant trees. The lower half of the photo is filled by train tracks. Some catenary wiring is visible against the sky, which is partly cloudy, partly blue.
In England, canal companies preceded railway companies. Canals were dug along a level route. Later tracks were often laid alongside and overtop of canals.
I managed to get a photo of the Oxford North canal near Hillmorton, just as an oncoming train […]

I'm scheduling people to join the boat next week. We'll fare well along a stretch of tree-lined canal that has a few locks to operate.
They'll be relaxing days of enjoying the sights, the waterway, and the wildlife (ducks, coots, moor hens, geese, and swans). Oh, and there will be stimulating […]
It is time to prepare the boat for boating. After all, it's not only a home and a (slow) mode of transportation, it's also a boat—a source of entertainment.

What a lovely welcome to April, wild primroses by the Shropshire Union canal near Brewood.

A spot on the Llangollen that made the news last Christmas when the embankment here failed catastrophically. Interim report on the breach at Whitchurch has been published at canalrivertrust.org.uk/media/docume...
