In a few weeks' time, me and Cabingirl Carol will be taking the Mouse Boat to Carnforth to see the steam trains...because I like steam trains. The mice like steam trains ,Not much of a segue for this days scribble, , but it's the best I can come up with before my third coffee..
I thought I'd offload...er...post a couple of random 'Mouse Boat Guide...' scribbles this evening. My internet connection is terrible. I can only assume that this gale force wind is knocking THREE's satelite about.
Get to know your Nautical Terms - The Mouse Boat Guide to narrowboat lingo. Top: Port - Tim and Pru's favourite tipple. Middle - Stern Gland. Bottom - The Weedhatch.
I forgot to do a scribble of the tank traps when I was in Nateby last, so I've taken a guess...
A couple more from our 'Feathered Friends along the Towpath' series, this morning. There are brownie points available if you can tell me what they're called.
More ornithological titbits this fine day - herons and ducks. I can't think of anything to add to that, really.
I have a couple more 'Ornithology along the Towpath' scribbles for the twitchers and the scratchers this morning - on the top: the crow, easily recognised with its striped vest and straw boater (I've been studying Dumbo by way of research) and on the bottom: the robin,
I'm late today. Sorry about that. My Internet server was 'conducting essential maintainence'. Would have been nice if they'd let me know before hand, but at least I'm back...
A couple more 'Wildlife along the Towpath' scribbles. Not that you'd see much at the moment that wasn't frozen solid.
