About Me

My photo
At the moment I am caring full time for a family member and when the time comes I will be selling up and living on a narrowboat.I enjoy reading,especially about those living on narrowboats and their daily lives.The tug Nb Resolute in the above picture is NOT mine but is owned by Dave Moore and is something I would aspire to own one day although I am going to look at many boats before I make a decision on the style and interior.Tugs are looking good at the moment but have yet to look around one. My interest in narrowboats started some 47 years ago. As a lad I cycled from Luton to bridge 111 on the G.U.by the Globe to fish and watch the Morton and Clayton boats go by,full of coal with a family on board and always wondered how they kept their balance on the planks that ran above the coal and why the the dogs didnt jump in the canal.That fascination has stayed with me so when I am able I will be there on my narrowboat joining in the great community of boat owners.

Hooray,
I have just been aboard my first narrowboat for a visit to NB Oakfield at Leighton Buzzard to see 'Bottle' and 'Wozie'.What a nice couple and full of information on their narrowboat which I find invaluable.Just confirms that living on a boat is great.Thanks for the coffee and hope to see you again.

    We hope you had an enjoyable Christmas Dave, we may be opening the wine you brought us very soon.
    We are moored up near narrow-boat 'Piston Broke' in Braunston at the moment and are getting to know them. Their blog is rather amusing, do you read it?

    Thanks for your good wishes Dave, and we hope that all goes well for you during the next year.
    If we are down your neck of the canals again you will certainly be very welcome to come aboard.
