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.

A short journey

So this new phone of Ians, it has NOT got three cameras! The wording on eBay was wrong. It has, in fact, got three lenses, standard, wide-angle and zoom. That makes much more sense and Ian has had great fun in trying them out. I must say I am very impressed. No wonder bulky cameras are going out of fashion.

7.30am was when work started on the buildings opposite but we were already awake. As soon as the sun hit the cabin side FS started cracking and banging as the steel expanded in the heat. Narrowboaters will know what I mean and to try sleeping through that is almost impossible.

After breakfast, I decided to walk to the park just to see if any boats had moved and result, not one but two boats had left leaving plenty of room for FS. Less than a quarter of a mile to cruise, I was still concerned that those two places had gone.



So we waited for the email telling us the plughole cup was ready for collection. By 11am Ian was sure it wouldn't arrive today. It's a good job then that the park mooring is 48 hours. We have to be gone by Saturday so fingers crossed it arrives tomorrow.



And wildlife at the park lake,
