What area are the filter beds in?i have not heard of them before.I`m sure you will enjoy meeting the locals.

No,its a narrow boat.Thanks for the compliment.Id like to say she`s nearly finished,but as you know no sooner you think so,something breaks or goes wrong!
In the last week-overheated the stove=boatfull of smoke+broken air control on stove:(

                   -Dead generator:(  :(
                   -Leaky window:[

oh well,on another note,the flooring that you can see was left next to a skip!solid beech no less.there was just enough to do the whole boat front to back.Long live skip diving/recycling:)

Some of the "crew".
They have a bizzare relationship with our cat,Jethro.She(mislabelled at birth by the vet),has a seemingly endless supply of disgarded chicken legs and sausages,bought back to give as gifts to the dogs?She meows,then a clang on the front deck.bingo

Anyone know what these are,i found them growing on a beech?

Great reading about the lock "fishing",glad you got it back.I just remembered that you have an outboard,so none of what i said would be of use! oops.

If your gearbox is a prm/hydraulic type,a low oil level can cause this.We have a small leak on ours,and generally reverse is the first one to go!There is what looks like a nut on top of the gearbox casing.If you take it out,it may or not have a short dipstick on it.You can fill it here.Most can be topped up with ordinary engine oil,but its worth checking first.
Your cat up a tree got me thinking back to when we first moved onto the canal.We took 3 cats and a dog with us,and the first time we turned the boat around,mooring up the other way round,our dog having just got used to jumping out of the left side of the boat,ran out and did the same again.She gracefully flew through the air,landing squarely in the middle of the cut!On another occasion one of the cats decided that it would be far easier to go for a dump in the kitchen,than to venture into the great outdoors.My wife then hurled the cat out of the side hatch into the garden,saying do it out there....we had turned around the night before...wet cat.
Sorry to hear about the kitten,i hope they find them.

a good supply of free wood,and boat ready to go,sounds like you've cracked it!

if you need a supply of kindling,look out for businesses that package things for overseas shipping in wooden crates.i`ve been getting some locally,and sharing it along our moorings for years now.they generally cut it to size as well.
are you enjoying the wind?all my lamps,pots and pans are swinging around and clanging.lovely:)

I had to explain what a 'Tefal' forehead was to someone the other day.

like this?

Is that a real skull?
`tis a cast taken from a real one,not sure whose...could have been someone who tried out that diesel trick though.

dip a rag in the diesel tank. old trick to start old engines on a cold day

Dont try this^ most likely lead to a sooty explosion!,plenty of dry colour free newspaper,not rolled up to tightly,and dry kindling.leave the ash draw opentil its roaring.It may be worth sweeping your chimney,as you wont light your stove easily if it`s blocked ;)

I have some colnago road forks(c40)? 1" threadless steerer 71/2" long,in reasonable condition.no dents,dings.some surface rust.measured against my steamroller the angles look similar.£15.00 collected

• the bike is a fixed gear bob jackson frame, with single front brake and clipless pedals, size medium-ish. Damage is minimal, I think: the front wheel looks a bit dodgy.
