The houseboat Astoria

Got out on the river this afternoon for the first time this year, one day you may actually see the my launch if it ever becomes respectable!!

Yet another music influenced blip but no Bonzo Dog or Shakin!

Here is my dream houseboat; she is famous as she is owned by Dave Gilmour (of Pink Floyd fame) but she has some earlier history as she was built for Fred Karno. For anyone interested the link to the wiki is: -

The river and sunlight make a lovely shot. There were loads of opportunities with the decent weather today but this stood out
