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.

Baby sitting duties


Christine phoned us today to ask us to baby sit Josh. Kevin's works Christmas do, postponed from December because of the snow, was scheduled for today. Talk about leaving it a bit late!!!! Anyway as we were still waiting for the river to come down we agreed. Christine came and fetched us and we arranged to stay the night. Bad move. Josh went to bed as good as gold but whether it was mum and dad arriving back from their evening out or he just decided to wake up, all hell let loose at about 2.30 am. That put paid to our sleep because he either talked, shouted or cried until well after 4. I did feel sorry for Christine though, she had to be up for work on Sunday morning so she must have felt like death warmed up.
