Still a few around Dave with Enterprise and Wayfarers - the old navy demograph most likely as a lot retire down here.

Haven't seen this in the Dart yet..




A quiet afternoon stroll along the canal took a delightfully cheeky turn this week when a highly unusual vessel decided to drop anchor and show off its wares.

The bright pink "Ann Summers Canal Boutique" has been making considerable waves on the towpath. Forget stopping for a traditional cream tea; the local ladies' walking group was far more interested in inspecting this floating shop's rather colourful tackle.

​Swapping their usual discussions about Victoria sponges for spirited debates on horsepower and battery life, the pensioners happily got hands-on with the vibrant, waterproof merchandise.

​"I've been looking for a sturdy little runabout to get my motor running" remarked one enthusiastic shopper, giving a hefty purple contraption a very thorough weigh-up. "I must say, this one looks like it could navigate a tight lock with absolutely no trouble at all!"

​It appears the pop-up boutique is doing a roaring trade keeping the locals thoroughly entertained. After all, whether you're navigating the broads or just looking for a bit of a buzz in the galley, there's nothing quite like a reliable piece of equipment to really float your boat.
