Marple Junction on the Macclesfield Canal.

A total lack of pictures today for which I do apologise but this Blogger site is in stress mode at the moment.

I know it is too many people Blogging at the same time, but to my mind if it is this popular why are the powers that be not increasing the sites capacity? To get anything to upload you have to post early in the morning or forget it.

Back to the boat.

We have had a bit of a problem of late.



Walking across the bedroom carpet I realised that my socks were getting wet, this is not good on a boat,............ water should be on the outside.

Anyway to cut a very long story short, the leak was from the hot water pipe at the mixer tap in the bathroom, the water had been seeping down the pipe and under the waterproof floor covering until it found a way out through the bedroom carpet.

This has caused us to pull all the carpet and floor covering up to dry everything out, what a mess!!!



Thanks to this we are staying at Marple Junction for a couple of days where we have been taken aback as to how many boats there are moving around here. We have been used to seeing no more than one or two boats a day for over a month now, coming into this melee of boaters has brought us back to earth with a bump.

This canal is very easy to work, hardly any locks with a few swing bridges, this might account for all these weekenders.



I now have another boat name to add to my list:

Moose Drool, The Vented Spleen, Floater and now Felonious Mongoose,
this is a good one with accompanying picture, which of course I cannot upload at the moment


A roaring fire was the order of the day yesterday as the rain has been falling for two days now and the air was just so damp,............ this is July isn't it?



Until tomorrow.................
