The duck Guinness World record… Day 242

C.L. Peache

Wednesday 20th March Day 242

We were very rudely woken at who knows what hour by a bloomin’ duck who had seemingly decided to enter the duck Guinness World records of how long it could quack for! This duck was probably the longest holder of the world record for quacking continually for a indecent amount of time! Anyway, once up and about I crack on with some book festival work whilst Chris cleans the boat keeping ours eyes peeled to shout at the culprit.

It was more or less a day at the dinette for me to get all the vlogs sorted and uploaded to Patreon and Youtube so not much else to share. I did edit quite a lot of my canal book and realised how much I say I’m doing this – which of course I will edit from the book ((Oh, I see! But we have to read it!)) but that is normal life on the boat. ((We know, you mainly sit on your backside)) OI!

As the promised rain hasn’t arrived, we decide it’s cruising time in the afternoon and very pleasant it is, as we reminisce about the time we were on here on a canal holiday and how much we’ chatted’d talked about owning our own and 3 years later here we are. ((You don’t muck about Peachy!)) Life is too short Brackets – if you get an opportunity go for it and worry about the consequences after! Day Done. Until tomorrow. x

After living in various parts of the UK, including Wakefield, York, Derby, and the Yorkshire Dales, I now live on a Narrowboat cruising the canal network. I enjoy reading, writing, travelling, walking, kayaking, watching all forms of motorbike racing and socialising (networking). At the beginning of my writing journey, I started my blog which tracks the ups and downs of writing. ((I need to mention that my blog posts are usually visited by ‘Brackets’!)) To the books… My fantasy series, Festival of Time was completed with the publication of Book Three: Battle in November 2022 and now joins, Book Two: Rescue, and Book One: Escape. Click ‘books’ on my website to find out more and follow me on social media for updates – I love chatting with readers and authors. In 2021 I joined Saga Fiction and now have three stories published on their app; A Christmas Wish, Decisions, Decisions, and A night lost to the past.

During my time exploring this wonderful part of the world I kept a journal and this became 187 Kilometres, turn left – which is a guide to our 43-day bucket list adventure. Available on Amazon.
