What a great tag-line! Doubles up as a stool (haha)

Anyway, don’t ask how I came across this nifty-wifty… but as you know, living on a boat requires one to continually keep up with ‘what’s out there’ in terms of portable toilets. So, I found this today and thought I’d share.

I thought it was the perfect accompaniment for those who attend festivals or those who enjoy the great outdoors camping without music. Of course, not forgetting those boaters who don’t have on-board facilities for one reason or another.

The Niece of Tom Barrie who’s a pensioner, who lives on NB Wirral Wanderer, is trying to find him as she’s not heard from him in over a year.

my uncles name is Tom Barrie The boat ..well just a barge to me ! I think it was blue and was traditional looking  His last Known whereabouts ummm ! Berkhampstead . He s a very sociable bloke and chatty so can t see anyone not noticing him as he s been on canals for a long time about 8 or 9 years and was in Nantwich alot also but has no perminent mooring that i know of

If anyone knows his whereabouts please contact Lucy Nix by clicking this email link

I hope he’s ok :)

We all know the Tax Man goes back centuries but in Bradford on Avon the evidence still stands today.  The Tithe Barn has been lovingly restored by the English Heritage.  Lottie and I cycled there today to have a gander.  It was truly impressive!

A spectacular 14th century monastic stone barn, 51 metres (168 feet) long, with an amazing timber cruck roof.  I bet it really stank back in its hey day :lol:

There are even workshops there producing all manner of arts and crafts.  You can book yourself in for an all-dayer in glass crafts too!  Lottie and I had never uttered so many ‘ooooh, I like that’ ever before.  And I was guilty of conceding on several occasions, handing over my debit card.

We cycled along the towpath which was lovely.  The Barn is sat beside the river Avon and the Canal runs behind it.  The river is very shallow where children and dog’s frolic in the clear water.  Very pretty countryside indeed

Anyway, I keep tinkling my wind-chime and we both keep writing silly messages on my new hardware… a slate heart that came with a stick of chalk :w00t:

Plus the boat smelled absolutely beautiful following the purchase of some fabulous incense sticks and the lighting of my Lampe Berger (until Lottie burned her bloody popcorn that is!).
