Well and truly frozen in

Winter can be as beautiful as summer on a narrowboat need to be prepared for cold snaps by making sure water tank’s full & plenty of fuel for the fire

Has been compared to living in an igloo

I'm off the water now, having met my partner on the canals and settled in west Wales :-)

We had #boatsthattweet in the early days of twitter...

Despite the rain down here on the south coast where I’m working for a couple of days, it’s still so important for all of us boaters to be sharing locks and water where possible

We fitted a @CanalRiverTrust workboat into the locks with us recently

We’ve had a lovely weekend with friends Lou & Dave, along with Willow and Otto, enjoying the sunshine and friendship.

Just what we needed before the start of the next batch of trading weekends next week here at Cosgrove

Pure coincidence my memories today bought up the 2nd picture, of Foxton locks, taken 2 years ago, very similar to the picture I took on our walk back to the boat last night

Well, the week I’ve been waiting for is here and off we went to the slipway this morning. It was windy and wet, which is never handy, but we made it! Vereeniging is now high and dry!
