The Cat's Whiskers nb. Our adventures on the canals and rivers of England and Wales aboard narrowboat The Cats Whiskers. Wednesday, 25 June 2014. Here, There And Everywhere. Salthouse Dock, our mooring for the last few days. We have visited Liverpool a few times over the last ten years so knew what to expect as we dropped down the short flight of locks that connects the canal to the superbly renovated and bustling central dockland area of this famous city. The old tobacco warehouse in Stanley Dock. There...

The Cat's Whiskers nb. Our adventures on the canals and rivers of England and Wales aboard narrowboat The Cats Whiskers. Sunday, 21 December 2014. Trains, planes, automobiles and a ferry too. Locals we have encountered, as we have have made our way north from Los Angeles to Vancouver have inevitably commented “You guys must right at home with this weather”. It’s certainly been colder than home, that’s for sure. We check out Muscle Beach, below the pier at Santa Monica. We rolled along in a big Chevvy Equ...

The Cat's Whiskers nb. Our adventures on the canals and rivers of England and Wales aboard narrowboat The Cats Whiskers. Tuesday, 30 September 2014. Propped up at Norbury. After limping through much of Cheshire and Shropshire, the Cat’s Whiskers now sports a brand new, sparkly bronze propeller, fitted at Norbury Wharf on Sunday. I can’t say it has made an enormous amount of difference to the boat’s performance, but at least we go in a straight line now,. We slowly back in beside the other boat. I continu...

The Cat's Whiskers nb. Our adventures on the canals and rivers of England and Wales aboard narrowboat The Cats Whiskers. Tuesday, 7 July 2015. Back On The Main Line. Pat and I enjoy the Hertfordshire sunshine. Some of the Aylesbury Ukulele Club at chucking out time. One of the best clubs I have visited. Then we pushed on to Leighton Buzzard and got on to the Tesco mooring and did some shopping around the town and a couple of sirloin steaks in the local Wetherspoons, which were remarkably good as well.

The Cat's Whiskers nb. Our adventures on the canals and rivers of England and Wales aboard narrowboat The Cats Whiskers. Thursday, 23 July 2015. Adventure, not Dementia. There was a programme about caravanning on TV last night. We watched it, as a lot of gadgets designed for the caravan market, can be useful on a narrowboat. The Greyhound at Hawkesbury Juncion, where the Oxford meets the Coventry Canal. Ann models her Cat's Whiskers limited mug. We are currently in the tiny village of Hopwas, near Lichfi...

The Cat's Whiskers nb. Our adventures on the canals and rivers of England and Wales aboard narrowboat The Cats Whiskers. Sunday, 23 August 2015. Back On Dry Land. Back in Great Ganett, Welwyn Garden City. Please excuse work trousers and slippers. As you can see, our life has changed, yet again, and we are back in our house in Welwyn Garden City, preparing it for the `For Sale` sign, that is to be erected any day now. They have taken all the photos and it should be on ‘Zoopla’ and ‘R...We do have a bed th...

The Cat's Whiskers nb. Our adventures on the canals and rivers of England and Wales aboard narrowboat The Cats Whiskers. Tuesday, 19 August 2014. I usually have our DAB radio on when cruising and I like to “ride the dial” changing stations frequently. I especially like the local stations we encounter. When I turned the radio on first thing Saturday morning, Michael Jackson was warbling through the speakers that “You Are Not Alone”, a hit of his from the mid-90s. We took advantage of having a volunteer lo...

The Cat's Whiskers nb. Our adventures on the canals and rivers of England and Wales aboard narrowboat The Cats Whiskers. Monday, 27 April 2015. Decisions.decisions.and more decisions. Spring has well and truly arrived at the marina. Our pontoon pals on "J" and "I" enjoy a Sunday afternoon drink outside the marina's Boardwalk Bar. Our "Enterprise" hire car. Quite a novelty to be back on four wheels. So this week we have filled in an “Expression of Interest” form – some 24 pages of it....That said, we h...

The Cat's Whiskers nb. Our adventures on the canals and rivers of England and Wales aboard narrowboat The Cats Whiskers. Monday, 12 January 2015. Haeri Mai, everything is Ka Pai. Wake up Pops. Let's read a story. Susan and Norm. Our hosts in Vanouver. Pat and I beside BC Place. It's a balmy six degrees. Baby Ben. Definitely a "Big Time Cutie". Livi does a bit of tidying up around her garden. So we have now settled down and are evolving a routine that will no doubt include lots of shopping, going to the z...

The Cat's Whiskers nb. Our adventures on the canals and rivers of England and Wales aboard narrowboat The Cats Whiskers. Tuesday, 23 June 2015. The new Circus Field Marina, Aylesbury. Our home for the last few days. But let’s backtrack a bit, for our last blog saw us chugging back from Rickmansworth, through Cassiobury in Watford as we returned to Apsley again. Don't see that many dinosaurs in Hertfordshire. This one is near King's Langley. This Bassett Hound couldn't be bothered to take part. Subscribe ...
