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.

Misty morn. rubbish & body bags????

6.30am. I hate getting up so early but the dogs needed walking and sometimes it pays of. The mist was rising on the river and everywhere looked peaceful. Then I spied the rubbish littering the grass. I suspect foxes to be the culprit although there may be a few lazy individuals who couldn't be bothered to walk to another rubbish bin. I then became aware of something that looked like a body bag lying on the ground.

On closer inspection There appeared to be two people sleeping rough covered only in a very thin sheet. They must have been really cold last night as the temperature dropped to around 6 degrees. I wondered if the opening of the new pub 'The Trent Lock' previously know as 'The Navigation' could have had something to do with it. Inebriated springs to mind.




A lovely tranquil scene.
