Blogger's boat to launch today

The countdown has reached zero for Narrowboat Caxton, which is to be launched in Stourport today. Lesley K has been blogging about Caxton's build since April and was quickly "Discovered by Granny" (Granny Buttons), which, of course, alerted the rest of us to their project.

In her "About Me" section Lesley writes:

We are yet another pair of early retirees that are busy dodging our coffins. We are looking forward to the building of our very own narrowboat, Caxton, and spending several years exploring the ditches, dykes and rivers of this beautiful country along with shipmates, Fletcher and Floyd.

From today that will need updating!

All the best to you, Lesley and Joe, and we trust that all will go well.
