No barges in Independent article today
Take the plunge: Canal boat living - The Independent (property supplement)
Well, I'll be darned. Granny Buttons gets a namecheck (and link) in the Independent today! So does Nick Corble, amongst others. I think it's the first time Granny's featured in a mainstream newspaper.
And no mention of the dreaded word 'barge' either, nor any confusion between canal boats and river/houseboats. Well done, Jimmy, pretty good!
I was interested in the photo they used. I'm rubbing both my neurons together to think if I recognise the boat in the photo. Could it be Ebony, near Lower Heyford on the Oxford Canal?
