http://nb-swampfrogs.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 24 March 2013. Me with my designer digits ready to type this. Well where to start? Maybe at the end? Getting ready this morning to go out for lunch with our friends Karen and David (owners of The Wessex Rose Hotel boat, in build at Milburns) and Robbie tweeked his back coming down the bank having emptied the ash pan! It's been snowing for the past few days here.I reckon about 6 inches deep now.no.maybe 4 inches.well, okay.about 3 inches.looks very impressive though. The things we didn't. I do hop...

Swamp Frogs: May 2014
http://nb-swampfrogs.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Monday, 26 May 2014. And on to the River Thames! OK, so I've had a couple of emails."where is the blog"? Why haven't you updated the blog"? Well, the truth is that we are just so busy I've not had chance. You see, living on a boat is so hectic, so much to see, so much to do.so, the update could be a few days, could be a few weeks. So much to see. And so much to do. We have so much to see and so much to do.like wild life spotting and soaking up the sun! Great place to shelter a 60ft Narrowboat from the ra...

Wednesday, 30 July 2014. We've made it on to the K and A! On Monday 23rd June we left Oxford and through Isis Lock and turned left and under Osney Bridge which we were concerned at as to whether we would get under.NO PROBLEM.It was very low (7' 6" air draft) but we made it ok with about 10" to spare. Isis Lock which is a drop of about 4-5 ft on to. As you can see.very low! Our experience with Fred and Lisa ( NB Chyandour. A very happy Suzie with frizzy hair! Gently cruising on the River Thames. Our first...

Saturday, 17 August 2013. OkaySuzie won the bet! More on the title later but maybe you want to skip the toilet wall drivel that I am writing and drop down a few paragraphs and read what it's all about! 3 very different birds but I am sure the 2nd one would like to. Eat the last 1! It really was a great show with plenty to see and do and Michelle ( The Heart of England. It does rival the New Forest Show and remember this for next year! The following day we pop into Nantwich Marina. So, down I go and take ...

Swamp Frogs: August 2014
http://nb-swampfrogs.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, 2 August 2014. This is just a short blog as I am trying to get up to date! You'd think living on a boat that there is not much to do but let me assure you that there is ALWAYS something to do and what is a 5 min job in a house can be a few hrs on a boat! After the nightmare of Woolhampton we made the decision to carry on as we have an appointment in Newbury that we cannot break. We poodle down the K&A and come across Monkey Marsh Lock at Thatcham. Very clever design but didn't catch on. And to ...

Swamp Frogs: September 2013
http://nb-swampfrogs.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, 12 September 2013. It's only been and taken 6 months. As the title says. We only really had one plan this year and that was to get as close to my Dad and his wife Diane as possible. Dad and Diane live in Lancashire not far from the Leeds and Liverpool and last year they took us to The Boatyard Inn. At Riley Green and we did want to get there in Swamp Frogs. Sadly we didn't quite make that and after the hard work of the Wigan flight we decided to moor up at White Bear Marina. Great service from ...
