If I had to make the choice between one of these and yours, I would have yours.

Abingdon looks gorgeous! I think I'd want to stay awhile! Sorry I haven't been here so much lately. I've been cruising too, but without internet.

Been too busy to follow your great blog for a while, and we had some 'fun' on the way.<br /><br />We saw NP XL steaming along as we moored up at Runneymead the other day. Looked good! <br /><br />Currently moored at Heaven on earth at Clivedon thanks to your previous postings. I cannot understand why we have chugged past here before. We may even be on your spot. It is incredible. So peaceful with a priceless view of the house and walks (dog and human) to die for. Afternoon tea at the house and a slow walk back the wrong way down to the river. This is why we love the Thames and this will now be a 'must stop' place. NT are a bit more active now, we got a visit by the mooring collection police at 6pm. But £9 seems a reasonable price for Heaven :)<br /><br />Thanks again for the advice.<br />Paul & Carole<br />WB NewlandsPaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874535285975592388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-56018819862782441022016-08-27T06:42:48.006+01:002016-08-27T06:42:48.006+01:00Glad you’re with me on this one Kevin! xGlad you’re with me on this one Kevin! xCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155792486454776550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-14274313088810877932016-08-27T06:42:18.533+01:002016-08-27T06:42:18.533+01:00Thanks Rachael, we’ll probably be seeing more on t...Thanks Rachael, we’ll probably be seeing more on the Thames in the future then.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155792486454776550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-62029667962741679652016-08-26T21:12:00.421+01:002016-08-26T21:12:00.421+01:00Carol said It’s very big and brash, I don’t think ...Carol said <i>It’s very big and brash, I don’t think I like it!</i><br />Kevin replied <i>I most certainly is and I <b>know</b> I hate it!</i> LOLKevinTOOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820971797758280402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-39880362627555324892016-08-26T13:33:56.103+01:002016-08-26T13:33:56.103+01:00The boat you queried is a Dutch steel cruiser.
