SONFLOWER has been to Norton Junction and back. The young people who formed the crew had a wonderful time.
Where have we been:
Stoke-on-Trent to take Tigger to College.
Cardiff to see our new grandchild and leave the Best Mate there to help with the other grandson while Nathaniel was in hospital with his Mum and let our son go back to work for a bit.
Banbury, because School has started again and Piglet needs to be there. There are things for me to do in relation to the local Primary School too.
Cardiff to visit again and collect the Best Mate.
Stoke-on-Trent to visit Tigger who has had his nineteenth birthday while away at College.
A few miles for the car and the boat.
Coutdown now to Banbury Canal Day
About Me
- eeyore
- The name describes my demeanour and voice! I love narrowboating and that is why this blog is mainly about the boat and our interaction with it. I have been keeping a log for Sonflower ever since we bought her and moved onto her as our main residence. Some incidents in our boating life have been hilarious, some scary and some down right dangerous. I cannot tell what will come in the future but you can now share them! The crew are an 'ordinary' couple. The Best Mate and I.

Strange Crew!
We have heard reports from afar that there is a strange crew on board SONFLOWER. They have been challenged by some in case they were stealing the boat.
Fear not you gallant SONFLOWER spotters, they are harmless. SONFLOWER is in the good hands of the children of good friends and their mates. These are penniless and exhausted students from Exeter University who need a holiday before their next arduous year of study and are, hopefully, enjoying the North Oxford Canal between Banbury and Braunston.
If you spot them, give them the same cheery wave that you would give us and help them on their way.
Tell us if they are going too fast!

Anouncing Nathaniel
Well, isn't that what proud grandparents do!
As far as the boat was concerned, having a pump out and refilling with diesel paled into insignificance against the wonderfull news that Nathaniel had arrived at a weight of 4.0 kg.
