@VivGroskop @AKurkov This was excellent. Thank you.

[The Book Barge @TheBookBarge]

@skottallan Thank you very, very much for this. It’s made my day.

Don't miss this month's copy of @waterwaysworld, folks, the biggest-selling and longest-established waterways magazine in the world. I've been an avid reader since I was 1, so it is an honour to have been interviewed by Sarah Henshaw @TheBookBarge, and for my book to be reviewed.

[The Book Barge @TheBookBarge]

@JulianDutton1 @waterwaysworld It was a total treat talking to you (your childhood afloat is the coolest I’ve ever come across, for starters) and the book deserves to be read far and wide. It’s WONDERFUL. So sorry for my tardy reply - only just catching up with Twitter again.

Spreading the word about outdoor swimming to different audiences. I just had this published in Waterways, the magazine for the Inland Waterways Association. #outdoorswimming #swimwildandfree @outdoor_swimmer

@albiondumsday Love this idea.

[The Book Barge @TheBookBarge]

This, with @LamornaAsh and Tabitha Lasley, was a proper books & sea treat this eve. With ‘how to gut rays’ and ‘general thoughts on trashy men’ bonus material. Thanks @blackwellbooks

I love everything about this list and how it’s written https://t.co/Up0lA415OV

Hooray @NatashaFarrant1 for winning the @CostaBookAwards Children’s Book Award tonight with a CHANNEL-CROSSING NARROWBOAT ADVENTURE. If I’d read this as a kid I definitely wouldn’t have waited so long to try it myself. I loved every heroic page of it, and all the puppies too.

Seth has a new sticker book and I think this page alone proves the superiority of French publishing in the genre

[The Book Barge @TheBookBarge]

@richardf Ohh I’ve only just seen this. Thank you! If I only had half your podcast eloquence...

Hurrah - there’s finally a corner of Spotify that is for ever UK canals. This is utter aural catnip for boaters.

The WW Podcast launches today. In each fortnightly episode, editor Bobby Cowling explores our inland waterways in interviews with personalities from the network. In our first, artist @Rob_Pointon recounts the inspiration he takes from Britain’s canals: https://t.co/FjcNI6ejkq

@Chenshaw @th3saddestangel @mcnatch He does! Also, the same bottomless greed...

[The Book Barge @TheBookBarge]

@albiondumsday I do! I really do. Thanks for sharing.x

[The Book Barge @TheBookBarge]

@47degreesnorth Ha! YES!

[The Book Barge @TheBookBarge]

@TonyDiarist £600! Yikes!x

[The Book Barge @TheBookBarge]

Has anyone else had their best necklace swallowed by a printer? Can anyone advise how to retrieve? Ta.

[The Book Barge @TheBookBarge]

@Chenshaw Not quite that straightforward. A small child was involved....x

[The Book Barge @TheBookBarge]

Printer clusterf**k update: necklace chain saved (minor injuries), pendant still MIA, printer itself presumed dead

[The Book Barge @TheBookBarge]

@kiwi_to_go Thank you. It’s been semi successful. Necklace chain and pendant now out, and machine itself making all the right noises - but printing total garbage. I’ll try to remedy that in the morning, but more than happy right now.
