Wow, hello and thank you! I'm a little bit speechless at your lovely comment (only way to completely shut me up is to knock me unconscious)!
I'd love to try writing a book so maybe one day I'll give it a go - never really thought that anyone would be much interested in my nonsense though. But perhaps it could be a summer project? I'm rambling already, aren't I?

I LURVE your writing style so much! I have read pages without even realising :) If you havn't already and i'm missing some massive thing here...you need to write books, in little chapters on the woes and highs of living aboard! I too live aboard and would love to write the same way you do, but have not the ability!

Thanks for writing so well!

Very interesting, Valonia. I enjoy tracing old routes, be it Roman roads, trackways or canals. Keep it up!

Hello Scott,

Thanks for your comment. I didn't think anyone read this blog anymore so that was a lovely surprise :)

I'll add your blog to my bloglist when I'm back on my laptop. Old planes and books are right up my street. I look forward to reading your posts :)

You're more than welcome, Avus. :)

Not just silly things happen in this blog, no...sometimes there's a bit of clever stuff too.

Silliness is set to shortly return...

Beautifully apt for your lifestyle, Valonia. Well chosen and thank you for introducing me to a poem I did not know.

2011-08-29T09:34:54.083+01:00

Canal boat dwellers can never be "pikeys". Apart from anything else "pikey" referred of old to travellers along the "turnpike" road.
Is there a term from waterway dwellers?

Warm water is lovely.

AHV - Flashing eyes? I like that idea! I wonder whether I could rig something up? ;)

Avus - Now, that sounds much better than being the powder monkey!

Zhoen - Is sweetiekins really better? Really? I could show off my Yorkshire roots and use 't'ther half' instead?

Hood ornaments.

That's a very good Green man.

(Oh, not hubby, it's an ugly word. Spouse, husband, sweetiekins, but please, not hubby.)

I have no idea what has happened to mine. I imagine my mum would have kept it, it holds so many memories.
