Well yesterday we finally came off the River Don navigation system. It’s hard to believe that we got onto it 12 days ago but have only travelled to Sheffield and back in that time! Such is the life of narrow boating. We have experienced all sorts of teething problems but have overcome them together and…

Whilst in Sheffield we have been blessed with visitors. First off came Paul’s uncle Roy and cousin Claire. Next up we had Paul’s uncle David and cousin Tracey. Finally we had Annie and Lily who spent the day with us. Thank you Annie for bringing some bits from home and taking some other bits home…

Yesterday I did a clothes wash whilst Paul did some odd jobs around Daisy. I was very proud of myself for locating a laundrette on Google maps, which was just under two miles from the quays where we are moored. I stuffed my HUUB rucksack full of all our smelly clothes and set off. I…

Having made the decision to not do the Tinsley Flight on the Monday, we set off yesterday (Tuesday) with better weather and justification in our decision making the previous day. To get to the bottom of the flight of locks (Lock 12), we still had a short section of the river Don to navigate and…

As the video below shows, all was good with some great sights and sounds (carry on reading after the video). As we progressed onto the River Don however, things began to change and…

Thank you to everyone for your good wishes as we spent my (Jo’s) birthday aboard Daisy Duke. Today was a good day. We now have fully functioning batteries and so can use the central heating and shower. We also got the stove working so felt warmer and better today. Paul carried on putting things up…

Despite the teething problems, Daisy is looking very cosy tonight and we are both feeling a lot happier 🙂

Hello everyone. So we moved on to Daisy Duke as planned yesterday (thank you Archie for dropping us off). However, we have not yet been able to set sail for a number of reasons…. Firstly, Daisy was still being finished off – she was having the pram covers fitted by Sean at SPL Covers and…

Here are a few pics to show how she is coming along. Even Zak has his own special quarters.
