Don’t know about that but the then owner was house builder called Mackenzie Hill. We went to see him on a Sunday after tramping about along the canal and were invited in to the lounge and told no need to take off your boots . He just said to leave any big pieces of firewood and do what you like. We never really looked into who owned the bed and he assumed he did. The house was destroyed in a fire in 2016.

On this day 2010 we were in Limerick to watch Northampton Saints play Munster. The Shannon here is tidal and the lock is into the abbey river which bypasses shoals. The moored boats are at Killaloe in a backwater originally part of a canal to Limerick before the big hydro plant was built. We lost by the last kick of the match our fly half missing a penalty, but a great day anyway.

All the dish needs is a clear line to the satellite. Being low down on a narrowboat nearby buildings and trees are the main problem but it’s safer on the roof.

The Nene will also risers our little brook in the village is really flowing. Think it rained all night and still steady drizzle.
