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.

Christmas Day

The only present opened on Christmas morning was by.................Jade!!!


Lasted about 5 seconds flat!!
Once Jade had devoured her stocking, it was on with the glad rags ( Jade included ) and off to Christine's to help with the Christmas dinner.

Sorry Jade!! Us owners do do these stupid things!!
 Having 8 adults and 3 children to cater for was quite an experience for Christine. Just seating them all round the table was a feat in itself. She managed beautifully and the dinner was a huge success. It all became very loud later on once the presents were opened and the kids running riot throughout the house. Thankfully its but once a year and never have I been more grateful that Ian and I live on a boat. We get out of all that mayhem every year!!! Once the kids were safely tucked up in bed us adults played the evening out with a great game called Uno. Highly recommended for hours of fun. Finally got back to the boat about 11.30pm after thoroughly enjoying the day.

Grandad said he was opening the present for Josh. Me thinks he's just a big kid at heart.
