Extra boating in the summer!

Yippee! We're off boating again on our summer hols. Only just sorted it. I spotted a small ad in the staff newspaper, phoned up, checked with Jan ... and booked.

We'll be heading north from Anderton in Willow, a three-year-old 40' cruiser-style narrowboat which the owner is fitting out himself. I guess he needs a bit of extra cash to help him continue the fitout, as at the moment there's no cooker, table or chairs! He has promised to have a cooker installed by the time we take it out, though, and might have put in a sofa-bed too. We're not too bothered: we'll take a folding table and folding chairs and have lots of SPACE. Will take airbeds for our daughter and her boyfriend whom we intend to meet at Southport.
