This is L’Escargot, a boat I’ve passed several times in Uxbridge and on the Thames:
This tiny narrowboat was near Black Jack’s Lock:
An imposing houseboat, Queen of the Thames, in the rain:
A boat that looks like a Mondrian:

Boating on the canals and rivers, from London to Yorkshire

Flooding in York
In York the towpath beside the museum gardens is flooded, and the moorings are hidden below about a metre and a half’s rise in the water level.
Selby to York
There was a surprising amount of floating junk to avoid on the tidal river between Selby and York, mostly large logs and branches but also a dead cow.
Paul Widdowson boat in Sheffield
Narrowboat Audrey Too was built by Paul Widdowson.We hadn’t seen another boat by the same builder, but on arriving at Sheffield’s Victoria Quays, we were put near to another Paul Widdowson built boat called Trilby.
Through Tinsley Locks to Sheffield
Alisha’s doing temp work near Sheffield until the end of June, so we’ve decided to stay there for a few weeks. The Tinsley Flight of 11 small locks has to be traversed to reach Sheffield. It didn’t start raining until we were at the penultimate lock, and the shower was heavy but quick. On arrival in Sheffield’s Victoria Quays there was a rainbow.
Great photos. None of them I suppose are in Little Venice? One or two looked vaguely familiar.
Any joy on the title of the Altan choon on your YouTube effort?
Yes the last boat is in Little Venice.
Sorry I can’t find the CD or I’d tell you the name of the tune!
does anybody know who owns this boat as our production company are trying to track it down for a photographic shoot next week, we’ve been looking everywhere, it was by victoria park a week ago when we spotted it and has since moved.
