Hi, Your comments are always most welcome
Ahoy watergypsies! 
A good thing you spoke your mind as well. Mr Haywood sounds a bit jealous. Really enjoying your blog so keep up the good work.
:D
What websites do you use for news about the canals?
greetings,
Alex
Sue, if you want to be a water gypsie, then go ahead and be one. Like me, you have worked all your lives and have earned the right to enjoyment. Power to you elbow and S**** Mr Haywood and others like him.
Kind regards
Paul
Ps enjoy your blog.
Sue, I read the same article and just thought - your jealous. Maybe you should write a counter article. I’ve only just found your blog, it’s great. You’re living the dream for many others (including me) so keep it up.
Best wishes
Graeme
Oh Dear, it does seem the green eyed monster rears his ugly head. Who knows, if he put a little more effort into writing maybe he could afford to retire on his boat. I know I have worked bl**dy hard so that I can afford to retire with my wife (as she has). Only six more years and we will own a boat outright and be able to live comfortably without any reliance on the state whatsoever, I will be 48! I think however that we will have earnt "the privilege" Sorry to crowd up your privileged lifestyle Steve!!!! and good luck with yours Vic And Sue. 
From one couple of Water Gypsies to another:-
Heading your way, keep a look out and say Hi. We'd love to treat you both to a coffee or whatever and have a natter.
Love the webpages, found your descriptions and advice invaluable during our Fens cruise.

So.... many thanks to you all for your comments, I have totally enjoyed all of them.. Hey make sure you all get out here suitably retired before Mr Stevie boy gets to retirement age... By that time BW will have levied their charges for newbie retirees!!!
James,
Not long after the photo, oh it was raining by the way, wends broke her wrist trying to do a bbq for us all and shielding the rain too.. best take the pic off the tee shirt I think
Mo and Nessa,
I did reply to your comment but it isn't showing.. so later maybe there will be two replies!!
Just said that we are looking forward to seeing you soon.. we are going to Cambridge too hopefully, but we have to wait a while till we sort Lucy..
Hi Sue
Even though I am not yet afloat some people who should know better really get on my pip. First off its not for him to decide what people do with their retirement, secondly if he must he should do it without resorting to cheap jibes.
