No Problem is officially No Problem at Norbury Junction

Grub Street Cutting to Norbury Junction, Shroppie, 2 miles-ish

It’s done…

Norbury, Shroppie

Phew.. a named narrowboat at last with a BW number too.. out goes the stupid vehicle style ‘plates’ hooray!

Celebrated in style tonight in the Junction here at Norbury.. trying hard now not to put in too many typos.. sheeeeeesh I will sleep well..

OK, so I wasn’t overly enthused about the letting on the bows, something was amiss with it, it was too stark… refer to yesterday’s pic of the bows.. I said to Trevor “Needs something in front and behind the name.. nothing fancy though, just something..” He thought about it.. then suddenly called me “Hey look what I done is it OK?”.. “DONE!!! Hey wadda ya mean DONE!”.. But Trevor learned about me and what I like.. so he was confident that what he DID was OK!

It was too..

Norbury, Shroppie

Just two diamonds just set the name off perfectly on the bow, took away the starkness of the written words.

Freehand again with the diamonds.. amazing stuff

I was on the radio today.. BBC Radio Shropshire no less, live it was too ..

“What is it like retiring to the waterways?”.. “How long you on air for?”.. well what a silly question to ask!!  But I had fun talking to errrrrrrr… Brian or was it Ken or Keith this morning about what it is like to retire on a narrowboat.. I mean, lets face it, it isn’t difficult.. just you need to be brave and DO it!

Might get the prop changed this week.. Ha yet more changes eh?
