Saturday 28th October – Day 104 Today we decide to stay put so no cruising. We have a wander back into the village after a morning of cleaning and faffing on the boat and watching some bike racing.

After living in various parts of the UK, including Wakefield, York, Derby, and the Yorkshire Dales, I now live on a Narrowboat cruising the canal network. I enjoy reading, writing, travelling, walking, kayaking, watching all forms of motorbike racing and socialising (networking).
At the beginning of my writing journey, I started my blog which tracks the ups and downs of writing. ((I need to mention that my blog posts are usually visited by ‘Brackets’!))
To the books…
My fantasy series, Festival of Time was completed with the publication of Book Three: Battle in November 2022 and now joins, Book Two: Rescue, and Book One: Escape. Click ‘books’ on my website to find out more and follow me on social media for updates – I love chatting with readers and authors.

A wet cruise!
Thursday 26th October Day 102 We wake up to a wet and drizzly day and the first day in a long time and everything is soaking wet. The covers, the ropes, everything.

Traffic jam on the canal!
Wednesday 25th October – Day 101 We leave Longford Lock and it’s a short cruise to Penkridge Lock and the services. We queue jump! Eekkk.
