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.

Hopefully the penultimate update on Ian

Still not sure how I feel about our consult with the consultant yesterday. After waiting an hour and a half before we were called in, we were out within 10 minutes, 5 of them sitting in the consulting room waiting for the consultant to appear. After the usual checks,( heart, lungs weight etc ) and after a quick feel of the offending lump on Ians back, he told us there had been no change from last time. In other words no growth and no shrinkage. I came away wondering why, if the chemo had stopped working, did we need to continue the treatment. The MRI still hasnt been booked but the consultant will try very hard to get it organised before we go to Pelsall boat rally in June. Both of us are a bit worried that our travels may have to be put on hold if there is any delay. If the awaited letter arrives in time and the MRI scan is positive, then one more visit to the oncology outpatients to have Ian's pic line removed means we will be able to high tail it out of Langley.

Last night at around 8pm and with the rain making a drumming sound on the roof, I happened to glance out of the window at the Toll office opposite and noticed a strange glow surrounding it. This got me baffelled as only 2 days before we also had what we called a weird sky. Then on looking out of the other window the whole of the basin was bathed in pink. Normally when we have a red sky at night the same phenomenon occurs but last night it was chucking it down. I found it all very weird. Maybe the War of the Worlds and the Martian invasion is not just a figment of someones imagination!



Red sky and rain????? Most peculiar.
