Weather Wednesday 🌅

We’re swapping Wildlife Wednesday for Weather Wednesday this week, thanks to this stunning sunset photo sent in by one of our customers.

What a beautiful view over the water — the sky almost looks like it’s been painted pink!

As the old saying goes… red sky at night, narrowboater’s delight!

A big thank you to our customer Pat for sharing this gorgeous photo with us.

🦢 Wildlife Wednesday 🦢

A huge thank you to boater Kev for sending us these beautiful photos of a swan and her cygnets enjoying life on the River Great Ouse. ❤️

At this time of year, we're lucky to see lots of new life along our waterways, and these fluffy youngsters are certainly making the most of their riverside adventures under mum's watchful eye.

Swans are wonderful parents, with both mum and dad helping to protect and raise their cygnets until they're ready to fend for themselves.

Have you spotted any wildlife during your boating adventures recently? We'd love to see your photos too – feel free to share them in the comments below! 📸

⚓ at Wicken Fen 🌿

This week we’re shining a spotlight on the GOBA - Great Ouse Boating Association mooring at Wicken Fen on The Lodes — a real favourite with both our staff and customers.

It’s easy to see why! Moor up in peaceful surroundings, enjoy the charm of the waterways, then take a short stroll to the National Trust visitor centre. From there, you can relax in the café or head out to explore the beautiful and historic Wicken Fen Nature Reserve.

A perfect stop for nature lovers, walkers, wildlife spotters, and anyone who enjoys a slower pace by the water. 💚

Have you moored at Wicken Fen before?

🎉 Happy National Jane Day! 🎉

Today we're celebrating our very own Jane, who plays a huge part in keeping the housekeeping side of Fox Narrowboats running smoothly.

Whether she's making sure our boats are spotless and ready for guests, helping behind the scenes, or greeting visitors with a friendly smile, Jane is one of the welcoming faces that hundreds of people meet when they visit the marina each year.

Her hard work, dedication, and cheerful attitude help make every customer's experience that little bit more special. 🥰

Thank you, Jane, for everything you do – we couldn't do it without you! 💙🦊

🦆💛 We're loving watching this proud mummy duck raising her little ducklings in and around the marina at the moment!

we're delighted to report that she's still got six ducklings. Mum is clearly doing a fantastic job keeping her little family safe as they explore the waterways, grass banks and marina surroundings.

If you spot mum and her babies during your visit, we'd love to see your photos! 📸 Please share them in the comments and keep us updated on what they're getting up to.

Have you seen our feathered family recently? Let us know where they've been exploring! 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥
