While it seem every other boat at the moorings has gone cruising this weekend, We are still securely tied to the bank front and stern.
There is a canal festival going on at Little Venice in Central London but seeing as we had to visit the maternity ward at St Helier Hospital Sunday afternoon it was pointless in casting off and setting sail for Paddington.
Instead we decided to attack the garden, Laura, armed with a rake and fork sorted out the plot ready for grass seed while I constructed a kind of gravel pit where our new IKEA garden furniture now sits looking down onto the moorings giving us a sheltered spot to cool off in the summer heat armed with lashings of ginger beer and 20 Rothmans.
I must admit, ive get very itchy feet wanting to cast off and cruise off into the distance...even if its just for a day......the lure of the water is just too strong

Wanna come n do ours kid
funnily enough I was wondering how empty Iver would have been looking at the weekend, although we do seem to be fairly empy at the moment anyway, with all those gaps.
I hope all went well on Sunday. Little Venice was just all drinking & chatting - you would have hated it... ;-)
Ah Geoff, I know what you mean about the call of the water. I read Herbie's blog regularly, and also our friend in France's blog, and i really long to go off travelling. The problem is my daughter's going to be living on the Vereeniging for a couple of years, so I will be moving off and going to shack up with Koos on his Luxor (the one you saw on my blog). It will be strange to be away from my barge, but maybe with less to worry about, we'll have more time for a bit of cruising. Hope you and Laura are well. How lovely to have a garden next to your mooring too! My dream....
Little Venice is lovely, isn't it?
Hope all's well, Geoff. How are Laura and P'nut? Must be the size of a small melon now!
Hi Geoff...any news for us over here?
