Passing Bloggers

Caxton   © Paul Balmer 2009

We’re out filming again, trying to dodge the rain and find the sun on the filming days, and move the boat between locations on rainy days.

We’ve met several other bloggers on our travels, starting with Jannock at Tixall Lock. 

I didn’t have time to grab a camera as they passed, but just time to ask if they were the Blogging Jannocks, which brought a smile to their face and a yes in reply.

Crew of Caxton   © Paul Balmer 2009

The following day a lady mooring a  boat looked up as we  cruised past and said "It’s Paul, isn’t it" and I replied "Yes" while looking completely blank. "Caxton" she said as I vaguely recognised that as a boat with bloggers.

Just time to grab the camera and catch Lesley & Joe on the towpath.  I do hope we see them again soon to say hello properly – and I’ll make sure I have my brain in gear then.  Bonus marks to Lesley, who not only recognised our boat but remembered my name too.

Harnser   © Paul Balmer 2009

While just sitting down to dinner tonight I spotted Resnrah going past the window.  More bloggers I cried as I spotted it was Harnser going backwards to take up the space behind us.

A brief chat with Brian and Diana this evening and a plan to share Hatton Locks tomorrow.  Hopefully I can grab a picture with them and the boat during the day.

We’re moored at Kingswood Junction, hoping to reach the Saltisford Arm tomorrow.

  2. I’m glad you’ve got the feed working.

    Thanks to both of you for a very enjoyable trip down Hatton today. It’s a pity you’re not going back up tomorrow.

  3. Harnser is the Norfolk name for the bird Heron. Also could be in Shakespear, Knows his Hawk from his Harnser, the Heron looks very much like a Hawk when flying.

  4. [...] Today we passed Whittington and there was Jannock, with no visible crew, so I couldn’t call out to them as last time. [...]
