The Floating Cafe

How novel, a six foot wide forty foot long narrow boat that docks, sets up wooden tables and chairs and sells tea, coffee, home made tasty scones with clotted cream and jam. Cookies, cakes cordials, ice cream sundaes too. The cordials were lemon and lime served with a slice of lime and a sprig of mint, which is grown in a pot on top of the narrow boat. They have a roving traders licence so they chug along the tow paths and tie up to trade. The long boat is diesel engine powered. I’ve not sailed one of these I usually hire the eleven foot wide fifty foot long boat at Silsden in West Yorkshire and it is a fun, great and sometime tiring holiday going through lock gates, through tunnels, under bridges and turning round only if you have to. If you haven’t experienced this try it out its a unique way to holiday.
