Well what a sad posting after over 6 months without blogging.
But its true – daddy doesn’t seem to love me any more and he has just put me on Apollo Ducks narrowboat for sale section, filed under cruiser stern and Harborough.
(Actually not true – I still do love Zulu but its become a [...]
Continue Reading →There’s not much happening on the Zulu front at present hence the silence. Since Cavalcade at Little Venice I took Zulu back to her moorings in Uxbridge after work one night, travelling into the moonlight and arriving for a food stop at West Drayton at midnight, starving and freezing cold. I pulled in to the seldom used [...]

The shadowy figures (there were 5 or 6 altogether) escaping in my picture were running away because they though it amusing to pee over the boat as we went under Lisson Grove just at the far end of [...]

What a busy two weeks since I left Zulu at Weedon. I did return to the boat once, to do some maintenance as I remember being amazed that after 3 days the fire was still smouldering away, but being away last weekend and working yesterday, this was the first chance to make [...]
