Well - it did in 2013 on our last narrowboat trip, though as in 2013 husband will stay in Berlin and guard our flat: he doesn't feel comfy in a narrowboat, being 1.98m tall.
For compensation we will both travel to Rome later.
Now I'm looking forward to our next narrowboat trip - different crew (not all artists this time) and different route. We will add a week with a car, visiting Durham, Leeds and Edinburgh.
(About the date of the new trip I will speak when I am back - I don't want to invite people from the Wild Wood).

Here today, up and off to somewhere else tomorrow! Travel, change, interest, excitement! The whole world before you, and a horizon that's always changing!” (Kenneth GrahameThe Wind in the Willows)

    1. I opened not only the little normal locks, Rachel, but also the huge big ones! But I can imagine what you mean - though: I have many facets.

  10. Hi again Britta ~ I am very jealous of your narrowboat trip. It's one of those things I'd love to do.....one day! At least we'll be able to enjoy it through you.
