Narrowboat Honey: The painting is finished

The painting is finished

John Sanderson and Kinver Canopies have done us proud.

Honey is looking gorgeous in her new colours and livery - and only a lack of space in the wharf (and time to do anything about it) prevented me from getting her into a position to take some proper photographs.

That will have to wait until after Christmas when we will have a short "Brass Monkeys Cruise" back to Swanley Marina.

It's All About Honey

It all started one Saturday morning in 2011, when I grumbled and moaned throughout the 140 mile journey to a marina, constantly repeating, "We are not buying a bloody boat."

We took one look at Honey, paid a deposit, and since then the line has been, "Some damn fool bought a boat."

Without question buying Honey is the most reckless, irresponsible, selfish, thoughtless and silliest thing we have ever done. It's also the wisest thing we have ever done.

One of our three children is severely disabled, and I am recovering from a life-changing illness. Our 3mph journeys through England's beautiful waterways are more than just holidays for us.
