If you want to step back 20-30 years come to Mere. 2.5 pubs and a tea shop. Good news energy conservation has been taken on in full as there is a single 5 watt bulb in the bedroom. The bedrooms at the George Inn are wood chip, limp showers and polyester hair grabbing sheets. We do have a TV which is so small it gives you eye strain so it's not all bad. The meal was provided by Una say no more.
All in all a good first day with hills and watercress beds and lots of funny sounding beers - Hopping Hare & Ferking Ferret.

About Us
- geoff
- Normal stuff really. Martyn left home we decided to go bimbling through Europe at a slow rate for a few years. Couldn't be bothered with all that airport, hotel nonsense so we thought we'd take our house with us. Well a 1926 Peniche or Katwijker (Dutch Barge to the uninitiated) to be precise and do a bit of ditch crawling. We stay for as long or as short a time as we like. The journey has no specific ending or route - there is no final port 'plaisance'. We stop somewhere for a day and it does turn into weeks or months. How long depends on what we find and how much we are enjoying it. There is always a day when we will feel the urge to move on, knowing that new adventures lie just round the next bend of the voie fluviale. For some part of our adventures I'm sure you will be there to share it with us.
