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?
