Hello everyone! What a shame the glorious weather has broken! Srill, we have to be grateful as we have had some really cracking weather and are both sporting a pretty decent tan! It really is amazing cruising along in the sun singing your heart out! It was my birthday on the 10th April and we…

Can you believe a year ago today, we moved on to Daisy Duke and began our adventure on the English canals! We are currently sat in the sun at the Shroppie Fly enjoying a celebratory drink! Since our last blog, we did a return journey over the aqueduct and I skippered the boat. It was…
