Live on a boat they said. It'll be romantic they said. #ukcanals

This is our back garden in the marina. Lovely to get some outside play time in the sun after school. #boatlife #ukcanals

When you're 6 there's no issue with lifting you hands over your head when doing boat yoga! #ukcanals #yoga #boatyoga #tinyhome

The future of the waterways is in good hands. My 5yr old saw some litter floating in the marina and immediately asked to get his net to fish it out. We got a whole bin-bag full. #ukcanals #thekidsarealright

A glorious day for some butty boating - our butty Ure is currently on loan to to Jules Fuels so they can serve customers either side of the stoppages. Today we joined Andrew on the stretch between Berko and Hemel #ukcanals

This is why you don't count the chicks... there were seven of them.

New arrivals at our marina. Egyptian Geese (which are actually a type of duck) typically have their first brood very early in the season. #ukcanals #duckoftheday

Lovely 4.5 mile walk from Harefield to Ruislip using the @slowwaysuk.bsky.social map. Really love this idea of curated, verified routes connecting places, having recently been frustrated by a now non-existent route on an OS map.

Made some absolutely delicious flapjack earlier. Secret ingredient: some golden syrup flavour microwave porridge that I used to make up the quantity of oats 😋. Also small boy squeezed in an unknown amount of extra golden syrup!

I painted a tiny silhouette of a spitfire into a castle scene, for my husband. Someone else saw it and commissioned a can with a spitfire in their castle scene too! And the RAF roundel colours on the spout! #ukcanals #canalart

I miss my paint shed. But once we move on to the butty, I will have a painting space again! Any other painters of canal art on here? #ukcanals #canalart

We bought a butty! Ure is a 1960 "River class" butty built in Brentford by E C Jones and named after a river in Yorkshire. We've not moved aboard yet as we've lent her to the fuel boat team so they can serve customers either side of the Apsley stoppage.

Perfect cuppa for my tea while taking notes for the #FundBritainsWaterways Q&A session with the Middle Level Commissioners today. #ukcanals

Hello. Joining Bluesky as an experiment to see who's here and if it's worth IWA getting an account.
