About Us

My photo
In 1977 we hired our first narrowboat from Anglo Welsh at Market Harborough.From that moment our destiny was set. In 2006 we finally purchased our own brand new 57' narrowboat which we named 'Free Spirit'. Our aim is to travel the length and breadth of all the navigable rivers and canals of the UK. This will be our story as it unfolds.

3 cameras on a phone???? Why???

The saga of Ian's phone was still ongoing. Working okayish since it's dunking, calls could be received and messages sent but he occasionally lost colour on the screen. So he bit the bullet, opened his wallet and made a successful bid for the phone on eBay. He became the proud owner of a new ex display Samsung S10 complete with 3 cameras. Hmmm...Why would you want three cameras on a phone? Doesen't make sense to me but then I am a dinasaur when it comes to technology! Anyway, he received an email yesterday saying it was ready for collection at Budgens, Campbell Park so that then became the plan. Campbell park it was to be then.

Left an almost empty Fenny by 9.30am and had a uneventful journey to Newlands. On route we were both bemused by this cruiser moored under a bridge. Not for the fact it was there but how it had been secured.



How ever did he get that strap on the beam? Either he is very tall or has exceptional balance!

The plan was to moor on the park side but not knowing if there was any room, we stopped before the marina to 'go and see'. Ian went off to get the phone leaving me to check out the mooring at the park. Sadly to say it was completely full, apart from a gap long enough for nothing bigger than a day boat. Looks like we will be staying put then! Not to worried about the building work opposite tonight. Should be nice and quiet once the workers leave but what it will be like when the men arrive back first thing in the morning we will no doubt find out!



 There is still one more item to receive at Budgens. Fed up with the bathroom plug being left on the side of the sink leaving dirty marks, I have persuaded Ian to get a plug tidy. A self adhesive cup which the plug sits into. Hopefully that will arrive tomorrow.
