About Us

My photo
In 1977 we hired our first narrowboat from Anglo Welsh at Market Harborough.From that moment our destiny was set. In 2006 we finally purchased our own brand new 57' narrowboat which we named 'Free Spirit'. Our aim is to travel the length and breadth of all the navigable rivers and canals of the UK. This will be our story as it unfolds.

Hoorah for the local police.

Another trip to the Police station. At this rate we will know all the local constabularies from Merryhill to Droitwich! But they did come good. At first they asked the general questions about what we can remember, what he said, his appearance what did he look like, and then the usual not much can be done etc etc. Then surprise surprise. The Sergeant got involved and suddenly the interest picked up. Guess what. He was defiantly known to them. This guy has had a string of complaints made all about getting money by criminal deception. Now they wanted more about him. The sergeant was unable to interview us there and then and as we informed him of our plans to be in Droitwich, an appointment was made for him to visit our boat 9 am on Wednesday morning. Oh and by the way, his name is Jason Barker, not Buster as he had stated. So the story continues.

This must be local celebrity duck. Its so tame and poses for anyone who has a camera. I have googled it and found out it is called a crested duck, otherwise known as a topknot duck.


Wash and


Brush up.

Excellent news on the police and yep that duck loves its photo being taken, because I took its photo as well.
We are at Hanbury wharf and fingers crossed we will be going down tomorrow, if they have ironed out the glitches.

Well done you two for getting the police to take an interest in this con-man.
