70 now and our five wonderful years aboard our narrowboat Skyy seem along time ago. Jacquie, allowed me to build my replica three wheeler kit car, which was a great success. Now it's time to start on a bigger project and that is to make a good Triumph Stag even better, here goes.

CANAL CAMARADERIE

SATURDAY 5TH APRIL

Our last day in dry dock, it’s getting boring, so what did we do? We went to Braunston Marina Laundry, but then things took a real turn for the better when we met with Brian of KYLE, who invited us into his ever so cosy boat-mans cabin to shelter from an April hail storm. KYLE has a beautiful vintage engine and we enjoyed the lovely tonka tonka sound whilst consuming Brian’s red wine, what a lovely encounter.

It just goes to show you are never alone on a canal boat. Always a friendly soul about to give you a helping hand or mooring advice etc. and even the occasional glass of wine.
