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.

The best possible news

No not about Christine. Think we will still be here this time next year 'cause this baby just doesn't want to be born! No the news is about Ian. When the consultant walked into the room with a big grin on his face and said he loves it when he can tell folk good news, I knew we were on the home straight. The MRI scan showed no change in the size of the tumour running along the side of the spine and even a slight shrinkage on the visible one on his lower back. This means we are now free to go and enjoy our summer and not worry until his next MRI scan in November. So this is a very short post because we are off to have a celebration drink at the pub. (Only one mind as the phone may ring at any time summoning us to Swadlincote.)

No sunset tonight. More like storm clouds on the horizon. Probably a good idea to take the brolly!

Excellent news! You'll enjoy that drink.
We once spent a long weekend at a very boozy do waiting for 'the call' that, of course, never came. I share your frustration.
