Discovered where the Internet Café is (again a hell of a walk) and the launderette (there are two but both too far to haul the heavy stuff) For those of you who are wondering why we don’t use bikes of all these shopping expeditions, the simple answer is - we don’t have any. We used to carry two folding bikes but space (even on the roof) of a narrowboat is at a premium and every item must earn its keep. We used the bikes so infrequently that their space was given to a table with removable legs that takes a huge sun umbrella. It has saved our lives and those of the dogs many times when we have moored where there is no available shade. The back deck of our narrowboat, being of semi-trad design, is not large enough to provide outdoor seating/eating and the inside of the boat becomes unbearably hot in prolonged good weather.
