Three isn't enough. Mentions must go to:- Britannia, Northampton. Chef and Brewer but always been OK when we have gone there. Short mooring. Queens head, Nassington. Not cheap but a brilliant mooring in a lovely village. Five miles from anywhere, Upware. Cheapish eats, good music, provisions and access to the Lodes for dog walking. Good moorings if the Cambridge Motor Boat club haven't hogged them all. The Cutter, Ely. Outrageously expensive but we'll located on Ely riverside right by Fairlight's birth place. Lazy Otter, Stretham. Good well priced food. 36' limit for patrons craft. Ferryboat, Hollywell. Stunning location, good food and drink, sadly we don't get that way every year. If you venture even further upstream then make a point of mooring at Great Barford. The Anchor sits on the green opposite the moorings and is ideal for sitting in the sun, pint in hand, whilst watching the antics at the lock on one hand and boats negotiating the narrow bridge arches on the other. smashing place although it gets very busy (that's when it's handy only having a 25foot yoghurt pot) was looking for a picture of the pub but can only find one of the bridge !!!

So sitting with your pint in hand it's not unusual to see regular narrowboaters take the wrong arch to avoid them.

Being serious for a rare moment... In my experience, women over-worry about their breast size, bum size and other physical dimensions. If a man likes a woman he just doesn't care about any of that. I'll look forward to our date.
