Nice boat. Dreadful view.
But this boat stayed mored here for over a week.
As it happened we were passing the boat on the other side of the canal with 2 small French children (quite another story) and the eldest said "they're English". The flag at the front was French but the car parked near by had a GB sticker on the back.
Well there was a lady on deck doing the washing so we hailed her in English. She replied in the same language and we quickly found out that they had broken down. "The parts arrive on Tuesday" she said. We will pop back and make sure they have gone tomorrow evening.
Hopefully they enjoyed their boat, because I can think of better places to stop for a week, even though this is a working canal and there are lots of places like this too. For your information, the view the other way is of a housing estate.
