CHIMNEY!!!

Check out the new, slightly embarrassingly large chimney, biggest on the block!  Don't think we'll be travelling with that up!

BACK TO WORK

Well, the holidays are over so it's back to the grindstone!  We decided to start off gently this weekend with lots of playing with the woodburner as it was freezing . . . including buying an ecofan which makes a massive difference to the temperature inside the boat.  Once warm, the next step was to get the cooker housing built, which was done relatively smoothly so our new cooker now has somewhere to live.

NEW YEAR - NEW NAME!

After trying for a whole year to get used to the name Roma Jean, and failing, we finally bit the bullet today and changed our lovely boat's name to LILY.  Anyone who's known us since we were young will know that we've always had a thing for collecting frogs. Even our first little 23ft narrowboat stayed true to form as it came with the wonderful name Tadpole.  As we're now leaving little Tadpole to move on to a grown up sized boat, hopping on to our very own lily pad seems to make sense!  

So Happy Birthday Lily!!!
