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.

Nearly home.


Saturday 11th August

This place somewhere in Elan Valley mountains must be one, if not the most, peaceful places we have ever stopped. No traffic noise, no wind, just the babbling of a brook and the occasional call of the sheep. The sky last night was almost on par with Australia, so many stars and in the 20 minutes Ian and I were gazing up, three shooting stars were seen. Magical and a fitting end to our 2 months away.

With only one more day before getting back to Langley Mill, it was back on the road toward Leicester. Decided to stop off tomorrow to see our good friend Pat and found a pub at Broughton Astley where we could have a meal and stay for the night. My final photos, therefore, are of the sheep on the A44 and the pub stop. There was no hurrying these ewes!



What a time to stop for a wee!

Not sure where you are now, but we are in Loughborough, heading for the junction of the Soar and Trent tomorrow (Friday). Would be great to see you!

Hi Marilyn, We are still at Langley Mill and won't be leaving until Monday. Parties to attend over the weekend (grandson and son-in-law)and then Sandiacre will be as far as we go as certain jobs need doing on the bungalow. Then it's off to Bunbury to meet friends who are taking Merlin out. Doesn't look like we will be able to meet....yet. When we leave Bunbury it's a dash down to the Thames getting onto the river at Dukes Cut. Soooo maybe our paths will cross sometime mid to late September. I do hope so, I need a haircut! Much love to you both...for now. Will send that in person when we meet. Xxxx
