Sonia Louise: July 2014
http://nbsonialouise.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Our boat is now complete. Monday, 28 July 2014. So this is the start of our blogging journey mainly so that we can document our boat build which is due to start in spring 2016 and we feel it is now within reach. This year we have booked a build slot with our chosen boat builder, Bluewater Boats Ltd. A big step indeed. We have also booked a mooring spot with the new marina at Bosworth Marina. Next year will see the design process move forward with Bluewater Boats Ltd. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Married t...

Our boat is now complete. Tuesday, 6 January 2015. Days 6 and 7. I've left the second half of our holiday blog till now, due mainly to lack of time but also as something nice to think and write about during the winter. Kingfisher near Fradley Junction. Our day finished at the Samual Barlow pub, Alvecote, just short of Polesworth our day 9 mooring last time we did this route. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Kendra Erin - built by Bluewater Boats.

Sonia Louise: Disguised as de-cluttering
http://nbsonialouise.blogspot.com/2014/08/disguised-as-de-cluttering.html
Our boat is now complete. Friday, 15 August 2014. I’ve been looking through some old photos (disguised as de-cluttering), these shown here are over 10 years old. Here we are moored on the water point by the Barge Inn on the K&A with our friends boat Icarus (thank you Andrew, can’t wait to share the boat build journey with you! We think Icarus is now on or around the Thames, as I came across these. Moored opposite The Barge Inn on the K&A. Low pound and our intended direction of travel. Married to Martin,...

Sonia Louise: Up and down staircases gets us onto the glorious rivers
http://nbsonialouise.blogspot.com/2014/10/up-and-downd-staircases-gets-us-onto.html
Our boat is now complete. Monday, 20 October 2014. Up and down staircases gets us onto the glorious rivers. Our 2 week holiday is over but here is a short run down of the two weeks starting with days 1-5. We left Napton promptly just before 2pm, having loaded all the gear we might need for 2 wks on a boat during the autumn (full wet weather kit, winter layers, sun cream, shorts T-shirts, you get the picture). We'd even had a cup of tea before the yards man came to show us the workings of the boat. Marrie...

Sonia Louise: A long walk, time for reflection and memories
http://nbsonialouise.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-long-walk-time-for-reflection-and.html
Our boat is now complete. Thursday, 21 May 2015. A long walk, time for reflection and memories. The base of the middle section of the Caen Hill flight. I had a lovely light lunch in the café near the top, and just took in the view, what a perfect day. Martin and I have worked this flight a couple of times, even been stopped here mid flight to await repairs to a lock gate that had been lifted off its hinges by a wide beam in front of us. Suitably refreshed it was time to return to Semmington. Retirement w...

Sonia Louise: August 2014
http://nbsonialouise.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Our boat is now complete. Saturday, 30 August 2014. Having taken the week off and planned to spend some time with Martin during his rest days from work, unfortunately the rest days turned into work days, so yesterday I decided to go for a cycle ride, the longest cycle ride I've made for quite a number of years! Standards Lock No 5 Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. The views along the way were really lovely. A view along the way - Pill Box to the right of centre. Gridlock on the M5 near Taunton. Here we are m...
