frahkn Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Does anyone know if Maffi, of narrowboat Milly M (and a member here) is OK? He has a cc blog but has not posted since June. I am not able to agree with almost anything which he posts but I would'n like to think anything has happened to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athy Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Similarly Miss Bones, who inhabits the same stretch of waterway and who was once a prolific contributor here. I usually see her strolling on the towpath at Cropredy Festival time, but didn't this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Vectis Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Said "Hello" to her at the end of that arm above Isis Lock earlier this year. She was about to reverse back to the junction. Rather her than me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Nibble Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 I remember the build of Milly M being posted here as it happened and Bones is a delightful chap, one of the original canals angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Maffi is a nice chap who has a lovely dog. Last time we met he was in the throws of writing a book. This may be a long term task,so may not yet be published.

nipper Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 I understand Mr Maffy is lurking on the Big River, somwhere around Shepperton, I beleave. I did try look for him whilst I was comming off the River Wey the other week, but having found a mooring on a bank Holiday Sunday evening below the lock, I was rather reluctant to let it go and do a search for him! The phone signal around that area is not the best either! Nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maffi Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Sorry to worry everyone but I am alive and kicking. I am spending the summer on the river Thames. I find it very absorbing. I currently am moored at Kingston awaiting the return of my camera from the repair shop, after which I will be heading up to Oxford (it might take a few weeks). I had my lap top repaired a few weeks ago and lost a years worth writing, about 100,000 words. Please don't mention backups or I will have to kill you. 8 hours ago, nipper said: I understand Mr Maffy is lurking on the Big River, somwhere around Shepperton, I beleave.

Nice to hear from you Mr Maff. I get agoraphobia on the Thames. The banks are too far apart. Don't you find the same? I'm out on the Avon this summer, having done the other Avon earlier this year. Nene next, then I'm done with rivers. Much prefer the canals. Will be back at Greg's place soon. All the best... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
