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.

Peaceful scene at Marsworth on the Grand Union Canal

This week it was too wet to walk the dogs at http://www.appledown.co.uk/  so went over over to Marsworth and took a couple of photos as well as talking to the owner of Narrowboat Willow Too which is a Beacon built boat and was featured on the cover of Canal Boat magazine last year. Stupidly with all the talking I forgot to take a picture so enclose a picture of it featuring on the front cover of Canal Boat.

    Thanx for your lovely comments on Maffi's blog Dave, I wonder if he'll take the hint, wink, wink! Great atmosperic pic of the boat with the Canada Geese looking on.
