Edinburgh
Been up here for work during the last few weeks and there is not much narrowboating to be had in Scotland. Did another little trip on the Thames last weekend with Mary, and cabin boy Mat makes his first appearance of the season this weekend with our lunch trip to Henley (teenage girls optional I hope - see previous post) - hopefully we won't be mobbed by adoring fans, judging from the number of times you've checked out his profile compared to mine.

Been reading Sarah's Warrior blog and have to say I agree with her view of modern boats. There aren't many that I find inspsiring, I guess thats why I like mine with its old-skool appeal.

Went to the Little Venice canal festival on bank holiday monday and saw a range of interesting old working boats, as well as a range of interesting old people.

Just to include some photographs, here is one of my favorites from this year, IRIS in the ice in february.



...and completely at random, my brother and cat in front of my house in NZ in October last year.
