I sold my narrowboat Bristol Fashion two years ago and moved to Australia. Not many canals here so these days I live in a house.
Happened to see Bristol Fashion up for sale on the Apollo Duck website and it looks like she’s had quite a bit of work done to her.

I remember this boat from when I used to work in an office overlooking the canal just by the Coy Carp in Harefield over 3 years ago. Oddly enough I saw it again around 3 weeks ago whilst travelling on a boat from Paddington to Buls Bridge. Am pretty certain it’s at Hghline Northolt which is a nice place to be.
Hope you don’t miss your boating life too much, it’s getting far to too crowded in London these days especially with these new wide beam craft that seem to be turning up every week.
ATB whatever you are up to now.

Coy Carp, great pub. Yes I do miss the boating life but am planning to go back to it soon. Fingers crossed.

She’s not at Highline but has been my home at Southall since Nov 2007!

London is the exception, most councils are discouraging houseboats at every opportunity. They like to put people in little brick boxes where they are more easily kept in their place.
