A little smirk played on my lips when I read this new message, “From Wednesday you are our Calendar girl!”
I’m giggling again, as I can imagine your eyes scanning down to find the Calendar Girl shot! Whether excitedly or in horror!
You must banish all of these visions dear reader, as the reference to me being Calendar Girl, is my photography!

Canal du Centre last year
This was taken on the Canal du Centre, France as we puttered by on our 1920s Dutch barge – which is our current home, project, and escapade. (More pics here).
New friends
Travelling in Europe via the canals has exposed me to new friendships and contacts that I relish. Women on Barges (WOB) Facebook group is one of my favourites. (Women on barges, or any kind of boat!)
It’s at WOBs I met Jane who produces these wonderful calendars, and I was only too happy to donate one of my pictures for July 2015.

Talent!
I am also impressed at the creative, and talented women within the group. Back to Jane and her calendars, this is not the only string to her bow, she also makes beautiful and useful objects for your home and garden, using recycled 'barrique' wine barrels, take a look here.
