Hello Again

[Heffalump]

Hi Friends,

 

I hope you're all well.  It felt right to check in here, after it's been a few years since we've managed a boat trip.

 

We've commandeered my parent's nb, Penelope, and spent the last couple of days going from Brentford to Little Venice, where we are moored on the VMs at Rembrandt Garden for another night.

 

The canals here in London are a lot different to our normal patch - so much rubbish!  So many tarps around the prop! lol.  But it's been a great trip so far.  We're going to plod around here for the day before heading back to Brentford. 

 

Just saying hello really, but if you happen to see us, give us a hello!

 

Nice to be back on the canals

Long time no hear. Glad you’re afloat again.

Nice one! Good to see you back on here and enjoying being back on the water. The pros of urban boating are the life and people, the cons are the crap produced by said life and people that ends up in the canal. Have fun down there.

Thanks for your update, it's a pleasure to hear from you. Mr. Lump.

Yes!  It gets a little bittersweet to keep too much up-to-date when I can't be afloat lol.  Great to see so many names again.

Absolutely, far from the rural getaways we're used to, there's always someone to have a natter with here!  I also quite enjoy seeing the back end of our industrial past as we go through built up areas.

It's so nice to see all these names again, Mrs Heffalump says she has far too much crafting paraphernalia to fit on a boat full time, but we have this discussion every time we go away, and I'm sure I'm wearing her down
