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.

Narrowboat Just Us at Marsworth

It was too cold and wet for the dogs to be allowed out to be walked at http://www.appledown.co.uk/ today so I took off to Marsworth to see if anything interesting was happening. It seems the narrowboaters had the same idea as the dogs…stay inside except the crew of NB Just Us who were happy to carry on through the locks so I took a photo of them approaching lock 39 at Marsworth.

As you can see it turned out nice once the rain cleared away and all was calm except for the narrowboater chopping his logs up, can you see him ?

Next week I’ll be walking the dogs if the weather holds up.
