At the Houghton mooring we were entertained by an elderly black lab.
We thought he belonged to two people sitting in chairs under a tree, as he sat facing them , with a fixed stare on his face. Then a cruiser pulled up, and when I looked over, he was sitting outside of it, and being thrown various tit-bits, I assumed that he belonged to them, BUT IF SO, WHY HAD THEY GONE OFF AND LEFT HIM. The next time I looked up he had moved himself to the narrowboat next to us. The people and their teenage( daft) daughter sat outside, but as they had their own dog, they were not too happy being stared at by black labby, so they went inside and shut the door, Labby got up from his laying down position and ambled along the side of the boat looking through the windows. He spotted them in the saloon, so positioned himself there and stared patiently through the window. Next , the adults went off with their dog,leaving teenage( daft) girl in the boat, she obviously moved somewhere else in the boat, cos black labby moved with her, peering in at the windows. She then came out, and informed us that as she had been able to read the phone number on his tag, she had phoned his owner to come and fetch him !!!. The owner informed her that he was on his daily round of boats and would bring himself home via the local pub. !!!!! Isn’t that great ?
Moved off to Huntingdon, lovely town and nice moorings, and then went on a hike to Godmanchester, across the river, to find some maggots for mick..
Having problems with expensive new 12v fridge, but it turns out that it is our wiring.! Its not man enough to keep up with the new equipment, so looks like a re-wiring job. As they saying goes BOAT, stand for Bring Out AnotherThousand( £). Hey ho. Now you can see why I am a fan of charity shops. !!!
