Is Millie not the dog?

Is Millie not the dog?

Yes, but as far as I can see that is not actually the boat she resides on.

Yes, Ange and Dave have a dog called Millie, but unless it is being boarded on somebody else's boat?.......

My mistake, i thought that boat was Ange & Dave's boat.

[GoodGurl]

ahhh she looks so much better without the tarp.

Is that "better" or "wetter"?

Right place and right amount of rooftop furniture, but wrong boat!

We don't usually go boating with it up.

Do you like the mob cap?

Tim

yes, you should paint a face to match it

Lovely little tug

 

I am now a little bit intrigued as the towing hook looks a bit high up.

 

Is that where it was originally?

I suppose it is at it seems to also have the rope guide or whatever it is called to stop the rope snagging

Looks more like a locoman's greasetop to me!

 

We passed Kennet a couple of times this year, moored at Woodlesford and Keadby (?).

 

Lovely looking boat.

 

Enjoyed reading your reports of your journey along the L&L too.

Yes, all the steelwork is as original. apart from the after towing bow (just ahead of the stern grating) which was missing when I got the boat, it had been replaced with a much bigger hideous thing which I took off. (edit - and the stern fairleads which are also missing, I've been looking for some the

right size ever since) I'm in two minds whether or not to replace it as per original, it could to some extent be a nuisance.

That profile drawing is very nice

I can see why you might have trouble with rubbish on the prop !

[Ange]

No sign of Millie

 

Yep, definitely not us

 

That was one of our neighbours - you'd only just passed us with considerably more roof furniture but without the impressive foliage in the cratch.

Passed you today currently moored on the other side of the bridge

 

[Ange]

Oo hello that's us! Are you around for long Luggsy or just passing through?

[luggsy]

Just passing through , was going to leave today but with the rain I will leave it until tomorrow as it's going to be the best day weather wise, booked in festival park marina for a week going to see our daughter & grand kids

Good Morning Mr Bunbury

 

Seen this fellow today just above Choldomdeston Lock....haven't seen him since Harecastle two years ago!

 

[Bettie Boo]

Good Afternoon Big Col & Mark99

 

I gave your wife a big wave as we passed, but didn't see you about hope your out enjoying the sunshine

 

Sorry Mark 99 - we were already past you before I caught sight of your lovely boat and the most distinguished boat pole I've ever seen - your boat really is lovely, you should be Very proud.

Good to see you again.

[DJW]

We've had a week moored in London and spotted a few boats on the tideway which we have photos of - names are Matilda, Per Ardua, Skara Brae and Pericles (widebeam).

 

If any of these are forum members I'd be happy to send any photos I have of you!

[Emerald Fox]

 

Good to see you again.

 

Ha! (Mr Bunbury) Noted you had a brand new shiny chimney in Banbury on 2nd Jan. Do you have a cupboard-full of spares?

 

(if you remember I tried to catch your old one on New Year's Eve)

nice different boat

[Emerald Fox]

When is a boat not a boat? When it's a windsock?

 

If you want to to see which way the wind is blowing, before you go to the launderette hold one of your dirty socks up on a bamboo stick, arm outsretched upwards to catch the breeze. If, when you pull the stick back down and the sock has gone, that suggests 'Tornado'.
