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.

It's a boy!

Phone call came last night at about 9pm to say this was definitely it. No second dress rehearsal but finally the real thing. Ian broke all speed limits to get to Swadlincote and this time their car was running and Christine was waiting by the front door. We waved them off and settled down for the wait. And that wasn't long, just over 3 hours.  The call came from Kev at 12.20am to say mother and baby doing well. He was born at 11.30pm and weighed a very respectable 8lb.15oz. Once Kev returned home at 3am, we left him to catch up on some well earned sleep and drove back on empty roads to FS arriving back around 4ish. Then straight to bed for a few hours eventually waking at 9am with Jade desperate to go out.

Visiting was not until 3pm today and we couldn't wait to met the new addition to the family. I make no apologies for showing loads of photo's. After all he is the most beautiful baby in the world.
