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.

Ignoramus simpletons!

Bastards...Mindless idiots with no regard to anyone or anything. Bloody youths.... school holidays and they have nothing better to do than stone boats. And we were sitting targets being so near to the bridge. Missiles raining down on us, how they didn't break the glass in the cratch I will never know. Unfortunately, it's too dark to see what damage has been done to the cabin top or solar panels. That shock is still to come. 😠😠😠 So in the dark and not feeling safe on that mooring anymore, I backed FS out between the two boats while Ian fed Destiny's centre rope over the chimney and roof furniture and secured her back next to the boat by the bank. Reversed to the lock knowing that all the moorings were taken beyond the lock landing so we have done the unthinkable and tied to the landing bollards. And all this done with hardly any light, just a small pocket torch!  I think it will be an early getaway tomorrow back to Langley Mill.

All moorings were taken.

Irene darling,
Next time, use the flash on your camera and take photos of the offending idiots, then send the photos to the police and CRT, also get them printed and post them on lampposts, shop windows, etc.

I hope there is no damage to your boat. Little bastards!

Mxxoo

Oh I would have Marilyn if I could have got out of the boat quick enough. By the time I had grabbed the camera, barged past Ian who was standing in his birthday suit after having a shower and opened the back hatch they had gone! Xx
