Narrowboat Annie

Now both retired, we bought Annie to go on extended Summer Adventures around our canal and river system. We hope readers find the tales told informative and interesting. The blog is aimed at boaters and all of you who are thinking of taking that leap of faith, buying a boat and travelling, seeing places and meeting loads of characterful people.
