Narrowboat: The Green Man.: September 2010
http://nbthegreenman.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Goodbye, dearest Lewsey. 28022008 - 07.09.2010. You will always be loved and will never be forgotten. Just, please, dear girl, promise not to pick any more fights with cars in the next world. We miss you terribly, already. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Valonia lives with her Morris dancing husband and cat-who-thinks-she's-human on a narrowboat on the Thames. She makes boating look difficult and constantly proves that gravity favours the unco-ordinated. View my complete profile. The old blog of The Green Man.

Narrowboat: The Green Man.: April 2013
http://nbthegreenman.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Coming to an end. I know my posts have been sporadic for a long while now but it's time to start to wind this blog and boat down. We are moving on. And we're getting fatter. It's been years in the planning - a home that's just a teeny-weeny bit wider than a corridor. And so. We're building a new boat. A fat boat. I've heard rumours how unacceptable a wide beam narrowboat can be - our neighbours are often blanked by their narrower counterparts as they traverse the river - but why? And how could I refuse?

Narrowboat: The Green Man.: May 2013
http://nbthegreenman.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
And so the reminiscing begins. I threatened in my last post that I'd start reviewing our life aboard this boat and thought I better honour that promise. This post comes from a blog I wrote before this one was created specifically for our boat life. We were on our way back from having our hull blackened at Tooley's Boatyard in Banbury, July 24th 2006. We had not long left Banbury when the sky began to darken:. As soon as we entered the lock, and before we knew what was happening, the storm was upon us....

Narrowboat: The Green Man.: July 2011

Job #3 involved a lot of swearing and some falling over. No, it wasn’t fixing the hot water. The heater has been sent away to a Mikuni borstal in Southampton where it will be. Prodded with a stic. Ok, so it didn’t quite go according to plan. The lorry arrived eventually after getting lost on the way to our pub. I pointed at the tiny marina and pulled an expression that I hoped conveyed the message of “does this look like a pub to you? It was too bloody heavy for me to lift. Six hours later the hubby arri...

Narrowboat: The Green Man.: August 2011
http://nbthegreenman.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
In this sweet field high raised above the Thames. Beneath the trenched hill of Sinodun. Amidst sweet dreams of disembodied names. Abide the setting of the August sun,. Here where this long ridge tells of days now done;. This moveless wave wherewith the meadow heaves. Beneath its clover and its barley-sheaves. Across the gap made by our English hinds. Amidst the Roman's handiwork, behold. Far off the long-roofed church the shepherd binds. The withy round the hurdles of his fold. Job #4 - It all adds up.

Narrowboat: The Green Man.: Samhain.
http://nbthegreenman.blogspot.com/2012/11/samhain.html
This is always a special time for us. The last few years have seen a muted observance of the occasion due to my poor health but since I am on the mend we decided it was about time to return to our old ways of marking Samhain. We decorated the inside of the boat with foliage of Autumnal hues:. Can you see the outline of a horse in there? Rob made a pumpkin scarecrow to scare our guests:. Rob loves Pumpkin Man. We didn't really make everyone sit in the dark *cough*. 19 November 2012 at 19:05. Abingdon Trad...

Narrowboat: The Green Man.: November 2012
http://nbthegreenman.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
DON'T DRIVE INTO FLOOD WATER! Thankfully, no one was hurt (if you don't include pride) in the events of this afternoon but, sadly, a Rover did die. He'll have fun explaining this to the missus when he gets home. On Thursday Lolly started behaving oddly again. I think she wanted to evacuate the marina. I jokingly told the manager that she knew we were in for some bad flooding. And lo, it flooded and the water is still rising. Rescuing cars from the car park. Rob cycling down the lane. Bye, bye garden.
