WOYWW 279

Well I was completely out of internet access last week, up on the Llangollen canal on our new beauty, and today we still be aboard heading back to a boatyard for further repairs to the damage done by the previous owner's modifications to the plumbing, Monday 29th September had me bailing out the loo with a yoghurt pot.

I bought some craft work with me and have glued one topper on a piece red card, that is all I have managed to find time for. My Christmas cards are going to take a long time at that rate.
 
So instead of my work desk, I will show you Max enjoying a boating holiday!!!
He does seem to be happy most of the time, but would like to be free to come and go when he chooses instead of when it suits us.
And this is the new boat, she is 8 years old and 9ft longer than our previous one, making more room for comfortable seating.

Well I have locks to do, so will probably not be visiting until tomorrow when we get home, but will return your visits eventually.

Your new boat is a beauty! May you have many happy hours navigating canals on her (and fewer times bailing out the loo!) I love the Llangollen canal, we were up that way last year and walked across the Pontcysyllte and Chirk aqueducts and along to Horseshoe Falls. Such a gorgeous area!
Hugs, LLJ 20 xx

Oh how lovely... We have had some happy narrow boat holidays in the past, enjoying the slow leisurely pace through beautiful countryside. Max certainly looks comfortable, with his "Do Not Disturb" sign firmly in place!!

Happy belated WOYWW,

Zsuzsa, I'm hoping you get a reply like this because I cannot comment on your blog.
Thanks for visiting and Max is cute, he seems quite content when we are boating.

Thanks for your return visit, Chris, and I'm glad you like my masterboard. Stencilling through sequin waste is fun. You can use all sorts of stuff for stencils and masks if you keep your eyes open!
