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.

Cowroast Lock and Paragliders


This week my four hours respite from caring was delayed by an hour as the relief sitter was late so couldn’t walk the dogs at Appledown Rescue which enabled me to go over to Cowroast on the Grand Union Canal and take some pictures as the weather turned lovely after a dreary start.
Here we have narrowboat The Hornet being single handed through Cowroast Lock.

On the way back I went over Dunstable Downs and saw the paragliders being flown so could not resist stopping and taking a few snaps.
Here we have one flying low with the London Gliding Club in the distance.

Now that I do shopping on the internet and get it delivered at home I find I am more relaxed when I go out on my ‘free’ hours as I don’t have to rush around so much.
Next week I’ll be walking the dogs ‘hopefully’ at
