What's yours?

Good afternoon...
It has come to my attention that Google seems to have flagged my email address as spam, I'm presuming this is down to the fact that the wording in my initial email conversations is almost the same wording so Gmail now thinks I'm a spammer.

If you have emailed me and you don't think I replied etc please check your spam or junk folder, my reply may be lingering in there.

I will endeavour to solve this issue as quickly as possible!

Introducing the newest member of the Blossom bunch on her first boat trip...my beautiful Niece and Joanne and Garrys granddaughter Maeve...we'll have her on that tiller in no time!

❓️What is there to do whilst on Blossom if we don't have a car nearby and we dont want to stay local❓️

The government have capped the single bus fare to only £2 which means for £4 both ways you can go from Carnforth directly up to the lake district where the activities are endless...from a leisurely walk around the lakes to white water rafting!

Yesterday we took the bus from Lancaster to Brockholes at Lake windermere and spent the afternoon in the sunshine by the lake.⛵️

Once you've finished your day you can jump on the boat from Brockholes cruising the beautiful scenery of lake Windermere, up to Ambleside and back on the bus for the scenic journey through the hills back to Carnforth, Bolton le Sands or Lancaster...wherever you're moored to enjoy a beer, glass of wine or a lovely cup of tea, watching the sunset on the canal 🌅

Good evening all.
As I'm sure some of you are aware, we have suffered a breach on the Lancaster canal. Fortunately it is at the far end of the canal and therefore does not affect us on a distance perspective.
The canal is shallower than we would hope for at this time of year but as Blossom is on a draught of below 2ft she is cruising beautifully in these shallow levels and with all the noise on social media about our canal being too shallow to cruise, I wanted to put my customers minds at rest that we have cruised throughout the breach and will continue to do so.
Water levels have increased over the past few days so it's looking really positive moving forward.

Obviously, all the news out there stating the canal is "dangerously low" etc is affecting my enquiries and potential bookings for the remainder of the season so if people could share this post and help spread the news that we are still running and the canal is perfectly safe for customers on our boat (I wouldn't send her out if this wasn't the case) and you will still have a wonderful time on the 30+ miles of usable canal, that'd be amazing, thank you guys!

We look forward to welcoming lots more customers over the coming weeks before we end the season for winter.

Peace out ☮️

Bring your kids to work day...the joys of the summer holidays and running your own business. No need for childcare when your workplace is as fun as this!

Hello...just a quick message of reassurance for our upcoming customers...as you may have seen, we have suffered a breach to our beautiful canal, unfortunately this has been a major incident which has resulted in the closure of a section of our canal.
As this closure is near Preston, thankfully it has not affected Blossom and any upcoming hires we have booked in.
During your handover I will give further instruction on how to navigate the canal now we are on lower water levels.

A section of the canal is still "severely low on water" after a major leak, a charity says.

🐾🌸As dog owners ourselves we know how important your furry family members are to you, not only does Blossom have a wooden decking area at the front, which was fitted to protect the dogs paws from the hot steel in summer but...

When you let us know your furry VIP's are joining you on your Blossom experience, you will be provided with:

🐾 A luxury extra large padded dog bed.

🐾 Food and water bowls.

🐾 A Treat jar full of treats and a packet of yummy meaty sticks!

🐾 A cool mat for those hot summer days.

🐾 A selection of dog toys.

🐾 Meat flavoured dog bubbles.

🐾 Luxury lavender & camomile dog shampoo and towel.

🐾 A bottle of lavender & camomile doggy cologne.

🌸All we ask is that you please leave them on the boat once you leave so the next furry VIP's can enjoy them whilst they are on their holiday with us 🌸

What a beautiful week it's been on Lancaster canal...such a shame this week wasn't booked at the bargain price I have running but.. it has left Blossom free for me to enjoy 😍
Don't forget, the offer is running through May and I only have 2 short stays available so be quick!

Emma Culshaw Bell promises this to be a blast so set your alarm for 4pm and join her on her adventures.
We had the pleasure of chatting with Emma several times on the Lancaster canal and what a journey she had!
You never know, it might inspire you to begin your journey in the narrowboat world!
Blossom would be the perfect start to that journey!

Look what will be arriving on Blossom tomorrow.

I wonder who will get the chance card of the narrowboat trip down the canal?
